This table lists system elements that are related to absence event entry:

System Element Name	Description	Format	DU	DB	DA	OS	PA	OR	Comments
ABS BGN DATE	Absence Begin Date	Date	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the absence event begin date. The value of this system element will be the same for all days within each event.

ABSENCE DATE	Absence Date	Date	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the calendar date of the day of the event being processed. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore is different each day.
BGN DAY IND	Begin Day Indicator	Character	X	X	X	X	X		This system element equals '1' (Yes), if the 1st day of the event is being processed, else the system element equals '0' (No). The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day. Valid Values: Character '1' &'0' ('1' = Yes/'0' = No).
BGN DAY IND HLF	Begin Half Day Indicator	Character	X	X	X	X	X		This system element equals the value entered on the absence event entry component for this event. The employee was absent a half a day on the first day of the event. What day does the system element value correspond: Current day being processed. Valid Values: Character 'Y' &'N' ('Y' = Yes/'N' = No).
END DAY IND	End Day Indicator	Character	X	X	X	X	X		This system element equals '1' (Yes), if the 1st day of the event is being processed, else the system element equals '0' (No). The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day. Valid Values: Character '1' &'0' ('1' = Yes/'0' = No).
END DAY IND HLF	End Half Day Indicator	Character	X	X	X	X	X		This system element equals the value entered on the absence event entry component for this event. The employee was absent a half a day on the last day of the event. What day does the system element value correspond: Current day being processed. Valid Values: Character 'Y' &'N' ('Y' = Yes/'N' = No).
EVENT ADJUSTMENT	Event Adjustment (override)	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the adjustment to the 'per absence' entitlement balance associated with the Absence Take of the absence event being processed. The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
EVENT ENTITLEMENT	Event entitlement (override)	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the override to the 'per absence' entitlement units for the absence event being processed. The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
EVT CONFIGx CH	Event Config	Character	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the absence event entry's first user defined character field for the absence event being processed. The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
EVT CONFIGx CH UPD	Event Configx Character Update	Character	X						Represents the first daily absence user defined character field that can be assigned a value and then stored on the absence daily results. The value of this system element will be retrieved and stored on the absence daily results only if the system element is entered in the User Defined Result Fields grid of the Absence Take definition. It is a daily system element. A common place to assign a value to this system element is the absence take day formula or the absence take unit formula. A different value could be stored each day on the absence daily results depending upon what value is assigned to the system element each day. The stored value can then be used in a take element offset formula via the system element EVT CONFIG CHx OS, or in a duration element via the system element EVT CONFIG CHx DU.
EVT CONFIGx DC	Event Configx	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the absence event entry's first user defined character field for the absence event being processed. The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
EVT CONFIGx DC UPD	Event Configx Decimal Update	Decimal	X						Represents the first daily absence user defined character field that can be assigned a value and then stored on the absence daily results. The value of this system element will be retrieved and stored on the absence daily results only if the system element is entered in the User Defined Result Fields grid of the Absence Take definition. It is a daily system element. A common place to assign a value to this system element is the absence take day formula or the absence take unit formula. A different value could be stored each day on the absence daily results depending upon what value is assigned to the system element each day. The stored value can then be used in a take element offset formula via the system element EVT CONFIG DCx OS, or in a duration element via the system element EVT CONFIG DCx DU.
EVT CONFIGx DT	Event Config x	Date	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the absence event entry's first user defined character field for the absence event being processed. The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
EVT CONFIGx DT UPD	Event Configx Date Update	Date	X						Represents the first daily absence user defined character field that can be assigned a value and then stored on the absence daily results. The value of this system element will be retrieved and stored on the absence daily results only if the system element is entered in the User Defined Result Fields grid of the Absence Take definition. It is a daily system element. A common place to assign a value to this system element is the absence take day formula or the absence take unit formula. A different value could be stored each day on the absence daily results depending upon what value is assigned to the system element each day. The stored value can then be used in a take element offset formula via the system element EVT CONFIG DTx OS, or in a duration element via the system element EVT CONFIG DTx DU.
EVT CONFIGx MN	Event Config x	Monetary	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the absence event entry's first user defined character field for the absence event being processed. The value of this system element is resolved once prior to the 1st day of each event and therefore will be the same value each day of the event.
EVT CONFIGx MN UPD	Event Configx Monetary Update	Monetary	X						Represents the first daily absence user defined character field that can be assigned a value and then stored on the absence daily results. The value of this system element will be retrieved and stored on the absence daily results only if the system element is entered in the User Defined Result Fields grid of the Absence Take definition. It is a daily system element. A common place to assign a value to this system element is the absence take day formula or the absence take unit formula. A different value could be stored each day on the absence daily results depending upon what value is assigned to the system element each day. The stored value can then be used in a take element offset formula via the system element EVT CONFIG MNx OS, or in a duration element via the system element EVT CONFIG MNx DU.
ORIG BEGIN DATE	Original Begin Date	Date	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the absence event original begin date. The value of this system element will be the same for all days within each event.
PARTIAL HOURS	Partial Hours	Decimal	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the partial hours if any for the day of the absence event being processed. Partial hours can be entered for each event via the absence event entry component for the begin day of the event, or for the end day of the event. Partial hours can also be entered for all days of the event. The value of this system element is calculated each day absent and therefore could be different each day.
PIN TAKE NUM	Absence Take Element	Pointer	X	X	X	X	X		Represents the PIN (element) number of the Take element for the day.
