Absence Management (Users & Roles)

Overview​

Absence Management is a feature in the Users & Roles module that lets you work with a user’s absence-related information. You use it from a single user view, where Absence Management may be available as its own tab alongside Base Information depending on the user’s configuration (for example, whether the user is Subject To Absence Management and/or Internal or External User?).

How to access​

  1. In the Compass sidebar, open Users & Roles.
  2. Go to the Users tab.
  3. Open a user’s details (View User Details).
  4. Click the Absence Management tab (if available for that user).
