The user calendar dialog displays a specific month and shows a row with check boxes for each configured absence type. If you want to set a certain absence type for a specific day just check the box in the corresponding field and click [Apply]. You can check several boxes before applying your changes. The appropriate days will then be colored according to your new settings.

 

Clicking the [Clear] button will uncheck all markers and apply the changes to the database. So you don't need to click [Apply] after clicking [Clear].

Personal Day notes

In the day note row you will see a notebook icon for each day. Clicking this icon will open the day note dialog. You can store a user specific note of 80 characters for each day. A day holding a day note will be displayed with a special marker in the regular calendar display. There the day note will pop up like a tool tip when moving the mouse over the marked cell.

 

After you're done click [Close]. The dialog will close and the main page will automatically be reloaded and reflect your changes of the users calendar.

Date Range Input

If you want to enter a longer period of absence you can use the date range input to do so. Select the absence type in the drop down box, then enter the From- and To-date of the absence. Note that the range must be within the month you are editing. If you wanna enter a range that spans over two months you must edit both months separately.

 

Recurring Input

Another way of marking absences is the recurring input. Say you have a day off every Friday. Just check the Friday checkbox in the Recurring Input frame, pick the appropriate absence type in the drop down list in the same frame and click Apply. All Fridays in the upper portion will then be marked with that absence type.

 

Comment/Reason

This field offers the input of a comment for this absence request. It may be used to give a reason for the request that can be used by the manager to approve the request in case it is declined based on the declination management settings. This comment will be put in the notification e-mails.
