PeopleSoft delivers summary pages that enable you to review the history of absences for a person, for all reasons, including vacations and sickness. Reviewing this information can help you to identify absence trends and patterns.
When you set up absence parameters, you defined absence calendar options for the calendar. There are two types of indicators that appear on the calendar:
Continuing absence indicator.
If you enter an absence with no end date, you can see the continuing absence indicator. This means that the absence does not yet have an end date entered.
Multiple absence indicator.
If you enter more than one absence for a particular day for a person, you can see the multiple absence indicator. This means that there is more than one instance or type of absence entered for the person (for example, a combination of sick leave and personal leave).
Use the Review Absence Calendar page (ABSENCE_CALENDAR) to view absences in graphical format.
Navigation:
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Review Absence Calendar page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

For each day on which an absence occurred, the system shows a graphical image, if that type of absence has a defined image. If there is no defined image, nothing appears on the calendar.
Click a date or graphical image to view the details of a particular absence.
