How to Create a Custom Absence Code

We created a bunch of default absence codes we think you may need, but you can easily create custom absence codes as required by your business. You can add your own description and choose a color so it is shown on the employee calendars for easy integration.

1. When using the Attendance Calendar Smart App, select the Settings
2. In the Manage Absence Codes section, click the + Create New Code

4. Enter your custom Code (Choose up to two letters – this code must be unique).
5. Enter the name of your custom absence code in the Description
6. Select a Color for the custom absence code; this color will show on the employee’s Month calendar if the code is used.
7. If you need to create more codes, check the box next to Create another code.
8. Click on the Save button to continue.
9. New absence codes will appear (in alphabetical order) in the Manage Absence Code
10. When creating a new absence event, you will see the new absence code in your list of code options.
