Delete an Absence

Deleting an absence varies depending on the status of the absence request. The following statuses are used in Cezanne:

Draft An absence which has not yet been submitted for approval and is still in your Tasks inbox.
Approval Pending An absence which has been submitted for approval but has not yet been approved / declined by your supervisor.
Approved / Declined An absence which has been approved / declined by your supervisor.

Based on the status of your absence, select the relevant instructions below to delete the absence:

Expand or collapse content 'Draft' Absence

If the absence is in draft, you can delete it by clicking the task in your tasks inbox and selecting the Cancel Request button.

If the absence has been submitted and is pending approval, you can delete it by clicking on the absence event and selecting the Unsubmit Request button and then selecting the Cancel Request button.
