Enhanced Absence Type Default Logic

You can now configure the absence type to choose how the default absence type is displayed during absence entry and absence bid entry pages. There is now a new option called Absence Type Default in the Additional Attributes section of the Configure Absence Batch Parameters page.

You can select from four different options which are as follow:

The absence type with the lowest number as defined in the Entry Display Order option on the absence type setup page will be the default.
