Select whether the absence is a single day event or whether it is to span more than one day. Note the Multi day event criteria may only be used for absence of the same type i.e. two weeks holiday. One day of flex and one day of holiday, although it may be on consecutive days, will need to be entered as two separate entities.
If the single day event is selected then only the date is shown, otherwise, for a multi day event, a date and date to are shown. Enter the date(s) or using the calendar button to the right of the field(s), select date(s) from the calendar. Use the arrow to the right of the Type of Absence field to display the list of available absence descriptions, as detailed below, select the required type of absence and save the record.
On entering a date in the date field, the data will be checked and if absence has previously been booked the Absence Code will be completed accordingly.
If absence exists then the option to delete absence will become available. Checking the "Delete Absence?" box and saving the record will remove all absence between the date and date to.
