Editing an Absence Request

Absence requests involve a creating, editing, and approval process. They are used to specify a person’s unavailability to their home organization. They should be used for scheduling medical appointments, leave, TDY assignments, etc. Absences should not be used for scheduling assigned tasks, including ground duties and meetings. An approved absence flags initial conflicts for the organization’s scheduler and highlights the conflict if the absent person is mistakenly placed on the schedule.
