The leave and absence categories and the vacation frame can be managed by only users with administrator privileges. The leave and absence categories page can be accessed directly from this link or by clicking on the Leaves and schedules bar in the main menu.

Here in the leaves and absence categories menu, you need to specify which new category you want to record, specifying its name, whether it is part of the normal annual vacation allowance, or, if it is not part of it, you can add a unique color IDentifier to mark the vacations in the holiday calendar. Once you have this, you can add the vacation category by clicking Add.

In the case of part of a regular annual leave, all you have to do is enter a name for it and check that it is part of the normal annual holiday category, when you are done, click Add.

For categories that are part of the annual vacation, the order plays an important role.

The recorded frame number is reduced from top to bottom, the requested leave will be deducted from the budget transferred from the previous year, and then, if the budget is reduced to 0, from the next budget in a row.

If it is not part of the normal annual vacation frame, leave the box unchecked and click on the colour box to add a unique colour, then click on the add button to record the category.

After you add the categories you want, you can edit them by clicking on the pencil, click x to delete the category, or click the up or down arrows to change the order between categories.

The presented leaves and absences categories can be used on the Leaves and schedules page.
