How to add/remove absence types

Your account comes with default leave types the employees can choose from, and you might want to change them to different types.

 

To do that, go to “Settings” -> “Company profile” -> “Absence types”

  • To add more, at the bottom of the page you’ll see the button “Add new”
  • To delete, click the delete button next to the name.

If the leave type is grayed out it means it had been used before, and to delete it you’ll first need to replace those past requests with a different type. 

Here’s how to find those entries and replace them:

Go to “Timecard” -> Check the filters “From date” and “Absence” -> On “From date” enter the first date you began reporting or earlier -> On “Absence” select “yes” -> Search -> Locate the entries with this leave type -> Click the pencil to edit it to select a different type.

If there are too many entries to sort through:

Go to the bottom of the page to select 256 entries per page -> Use Ctrl+F to search the page for that type.

Take note of the number of pages you receive as you may want to search them as well

When all the entries of the unwanted type were replaced you may go back to “Absence types” and delete it.
