How to create absences?

To create absences just follow this path: Configuration >> Calendars >> Time off>> Create >> Absence

Choose an absence name and colour to make it easier to find.
Define whether the absence is to be used in days or hours.
In both cases you can limit the amount of time this absence can be requested.
By activating the 'Limit the time it can be requested' option, you open up the possibility of creating it as a cumulative time off, but only if you configure it on an annual basis. You can also configure it on a monthly or quarterly basis. In the latter two cases, the time off is not cumulative.
Cumulative time off can be carried over from one year to another (only if they are configured on an annual basis). They can be given an expiration date and you can also set when they're activated for the following year's calendar.

Please remember that if you make a mistake in the configuration of a time off, there are some fields that cannot be edited! If you need to edit these fields, you will need to delete the time off and create a new one.
