Colours in calendar summary

In the calendar summary, you can see when someone has taken a leave day by hovering the mouse over the date in question. To gain more insight into the calendar summary, the types of leave and the status of the requests can be given different colours. 

By selecting ‘legend’ button, you can see an overview of the different colours and what they represent:

Go to ‘Settings (gear icon top right)’ ⇒ ‘Master data’ ⇒ ‘Types of leave’. Select the pencil icon next to the type of leave of which you wish to change the settings.

In the process of creating a new type of leave, the colour options also appear, and can be edited immediately.

Select 1 of the 4 boxes to edit the colour.

‘Colour’ refers to the colour that will be shown in the calendar summary for this type of leave. An approved request will be shown in this colour.

‘Colour in request’ refers to the colour that will be shown in the calendar summary when the request for leave is still to be assessed by the manager. It will change to the colour above when it is approved.
