Hint: Reasons of absence

You can enter a previously defined reason of absence in the column "Abs. reason". This determines if and how the cancelled periods are counted. Particulars to this can be found in chapter Reasons of absence .

In case a room is not available for some periods or several days, you can switch to the type "Room" in the absence window. Rooms can be set absent analogous to teachers and classes. You find an example for this in chapter Absence of teacher, class, room .

You can delete an absence via the button <Delete>.
