Setting Up Extended Absences

This topic provides an overview of the high-level setup tasks for self service extended absence transactions.

The setup tasks for extended absences are as follows:

  1. Specify that the absence take is allowed as an extended absence in the Country Take (GP_ABS_BAL_SS_DEF) component.

    See Defining Self Service Absence Rules by Take Element.

  2. Link an attachment configuration to an extended absence on the Maintain Definitions page.

    On the Maintain Definitions page, you specify the attachment configuration associated with the extended absence element.

    See Configuring Attachments.

    See Understanding Extended Absences.

  3. Link any configurable section templates to each of the extended absence components you are using. Then specify the desired type of user access to the displayed configurable section page.

    See Defining Self Service Absence Rules by Take Element.

  4. Register the approval transaction in the Approval Framework through the Register Transactions page.

    Note: The Approval Transaction Registry is already populated for the PeopleSoft delivered AM_Extended_Abs approval process ID.

    See Understanding Approvals.
