Unavailability, absence and holiday management
Unavailability arises when a resource is unable to be used, for example, for reasons of absence or breakdown/maintenance. An unavailable human resource may arise from planned holidays, sickness, maternity leave, time off in lieu, etc.
A case of unavailability is represented in the schedule by a hatched coloured rectangle. This indicates, for example, that an employee is absent or that some equipment has broken down or otherwise unavailable.

Quick creation of a leave request
A new entry is available from the menu "+" at the top left corner of the application to make it easy for every employee to request leave.
The resource concerned is the resource associated with the user. Depending on the user's rights, this association can be managed from the menu "Profile" and/or the menu Data - Users.
The label of the leave taken into account is the one selected in the menu Tools -> Leave.
Leaves setting
Go to the menu Tools - Leaves. Enter the information according to your activity.

The label : Annual leave label. This is taken into account in the rapid leaves request.

You can select a counter in decimal rather than in whole numbers.

Track leaves and unavailabilities by resource

In addition, you can add a counter specific to each resource for each type of unavailability if you wish.
