How do I view absences in the calendar?

This article is for: Standard, Manager, Admin

The calendar displays all your recorded absences as colour-coded blocks. You can also see your current leave entitlement and working time balance at a glance.

Use calendar views

Navigate to Calendar in the side menu. The following views are available:

Day view: Shows all entries for a single day in detail.
Multi-day view: Shows multiple days side by side.
Month view: Provides an overview of the entire month.
Year view: Shows all absences for the entire year at a glance.

Colour coding of absence types

Each absence type is represented with its own colour in the calendar:

Colour	Absence type
Green	Annual leave
Red	Sick leave
Light blue	Comp time
Lavender	Public holiday
Coral	Other absence

Tip: The legend below the calendar explains all colours used. There you can also see your current leave entitlement (calendar icon) and working time balance (hourglass icon).

View absence details

Click on a recorded absence in the calendar to open the details in a dialog. The dialog shows the absence type, time period, duration, and request status.

Note: To add a new absence directly in the calendar, read the article How do I add an absence?.

Time requests in the calendar

In addition to absences, the calendar also displays time requests. When a time entry is changed or added after the fact, a time request is created automatically. These requests appear in the calendar on the relevant day and can be managed by users with the Manager or Admin role.

Time requests follow the same approval workflow as absence requests: they can be accepted or rejected via the Requests menu or directly from a notification.
