Start Date

Select the first day of the extended absence event. The field option defaults to the current date.

End Date

Enter the expected return date.

Absence Type

Select the absence type. The selection you make in this field will limit or filter the selections available in the Absence Name field.

Absence Name

Select the absence name from the available options. The options available depend on the selection in the Absence Type field, the extended absence takes that are enabled in the Country Take setup, and the elements for which the employee is eligible. After you select entries in the above fields, the system refreshes the page with additional fields.

Absence Reason

Select the absence reason from the available options. The options available depend on the selection in the Absence Type field.

Add

Click to add a new effective-dated row this configurable section. This button is only available when you are editing an extended absence and the Effective Date Enable and Add Row Enabled options have been selected on the Setup Section Definition page.

Delete

Click to delete the current effective-dated row from this configurable section. This button is only available for new rows that have not been saved.

Date Change Will Take Effect

Enter the date on which the information in a configurable section becomes active.

Previous and Next

Click to navigate through effective-dated rows of data in the configurable section. These buttons only appear as they are required for navigation. For example, a configurable section with only one effective-dated row will not display these buttons.

Sequence

Displays the sequence number for this row. This field cannot be edited through the employee Request Extended Absence page, even when editing an extended absence request. You can only edit this field through the Administer Extended Absence component.

This field enables you to determine the proper sequencing if you need to enter multiple sets of information on the same date. For example, assume that within a single day the user, or requestor, takes his or her spouse to a doctor for diagnosis in the morning. The doctor recommends that the patient be transferred to an emergency room for immediate treatment. Later, the patient is moved to intensive care within the hospital. By manually entering the sequence number for each of these events, the administrator can facilitate tracking the information related to these different events.

Validated on

Displays the date on which this effective-dated row of the configurable section was validated.

Validate Sections

Click to validate all of the current effective-date sections on the page.
