To add an absence:

Go to the "Absences" page.
Click "Add new" on the right.
Complete:
1. Name
2. Start date

To add another absence, check the "Add another" box.

The absence will immediately be visible on the list.

Half-day absences

You can also submit absences for half a day only. To do so, turn on the "Half-day absence in selected days" slider:

Note that by entering a date range and selecting a half-day absence, the capacity for each specified day will be decreased by 50%. This means that half-day will apply to each day of this date range.
