Submit absences

Submitting absences by users needs to be enabled first. To help, go to App Configuration> Modules > Resources - only a Jira administrator can access this page.

To add an absence:

Go to the "Absences" page.
Click "Add new" on the right.
Complete:
1. Name
2. Start date
3. End date
4. Comment (if needed)
To add another absence, check the "Add another" box.
Click "Add" to confirm.
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 entering a date range and selecting a half-day absence will decrease the capacity for each specified day by 50%. This means that half-day will apply to each day of this date range.

Edit absences

To edit an absence:

Go to the "Absences" page.
Find an absence to edit and click the "Edit" icon on the right.
Make changes in the pop-up modal box.
Click "Save" to confirm.

Delete absences

To delete an absence:

Go to the "Absences" page.
Find an absence to edit and click the "Delete" icon on the right.
Click "Delete" to confirm.
