Steps: Enable Absence for Mobile

Steps: Enable Absence for Mobile

Security:
Set Up: Time Off (General)
 domain in the Time Off and Leave functional area.
You can enable workers to request, correct, and cancel time off requests from their mobile devices. Reviewers can approve, deny, revise, and send back time off on mobile through My Tasks. You can also enable workers to request leave of absence on their mobile devices. On mobile, the Absence Calendar Experience provides:
  • A single calendar to request time off and leave of absence.
  • Team absence information to help self-service users make informed requests.
When you enable Absence for mobile with Workday Scheduling, when users select
Schedule
Schedule Settings
Request Unavailable Time
, we display either the
Request Absence
 task or the legacy
Time Off Calendar
 report, depending on the business process security policy configuration.

  6. Verify segmented security for time off and leave types.
    If you've configured segmented security for time off and leave types in your tenant, verify the configurations for the security segments to ensure that they support your Absence Calendar Experience configuration on mobile. These segments define the time offs or leave types that users can select when requesting absence.
    Ensure that you configure the segment-based security groups in authentication policies if you encounter issues with users being unable to select absence types on mobile.
