Name: Full name for the absence (max. 32 characters). This name will be used in the drop-down list in the daily overview.
Holiday: Here you can select the holiday counter the absence period will be deducted from (see Add, Edit and Delete an Employee Record in Employees Window). This way Astrow can calculate the different kinds of taken and left holidays. 
 
Max. absent time (daily base): Here you can define the T and C counters that are influenced each time this absence is applied. In addition, you can define the maximum number of hours a day the absence can be applied (if this number is exceeded, an anomaly will be generated in the daily overview).
Authorization time settings: Here you can select the authorization time types that have to be available and the authorization time that appears as default when using the absence.
The symbols in front of the absence time types indicate the influence of the absence on the holiday counters, if any. These symbols only apply to the holiday counters that can both be taken in hours and days.
