  3. Enter the Employee name or badge number.

  5. Select the Absence Type Id for the absence.
    Available absence types are based on the Request Order selected in the Context.
  6. If applicable, select an absence Quota Type.
  7. If applicable, select an Absence Reason Id.
    Absence reasons are defined in ancillary data, and then associated with an absence reasons ancillary group. Absence types associated with an Absence Reason Group have options available in this list.
  8. If applicable, select a Relationship Id.
    Absence relationships are defined in ancillary data, and then associated with an absence relationships ancillary group. Absence types associated with an Absence Relationship Group have options available in this list.

After creating the absence request, it can be granted or denied.
