What information is synchronised?

Event description

You can choose to have the absence type (annual leave, RTT, Sick, etc.) appear in the event description or not. By default, the descriptions are hidden (the event shows as ‘Absent’).

Status

When a request is entered and is pending approval, a temporary event is created in the calendar. When the request is approved, the event is confirmed.

Initialising

Absences already in Timmi Absences can be synced using the initialisation function at the bottom of the configuration page.

Simply enter a date: all absences after this date will be synced. This allows you to retrieve absences from the last month, for example.

You must choose the legal entities whose absences you want synced. This allows you to launch initialisation for only certain entities.
