Using the Absence Analytics Dashboard Pagelets

The Absence Analytics Dashboard enables administrators to quickly analyze absence and payroll results using a variety of pivot grid pagelets. The user determines which pivot grid pagelets appear on the dashboard and how they are laid out on the page.

The system loads absence analytics data for individual calendar groups as part of the absence and payroll calculation process (GP_PAYE). You can also use the Load Absence Analytics Data Page to load absence analytics data for existing calendar groups within a given date range.
