This activity is meant for consultants to add a workflow such that Absence Description is made mandatory under configurable conditions. As a result, when an employee inputs an absence request in Quick Absence, Absence Calendar or Absence Requests and the conditions are met, the employee will be required to include an Absence Description before he/she can successfully register for the absence request.
You can specify the conditions in the Event Action that is perfomed upon the Event ABSENCE_REQUEST_DESCRIPTION. Under Conditions section, specify the ABSENCE_TYPE_ID and DURATION for which the Absence Description will be made mandatory.
The Duration Unit of an Absence Type is specified by either Days (Calendar Days/ Working Days) or Hours. The Duration configured in the Event Action is dependent on the Duration Unit. For example, for an Absence Type with Duration Unit as Days and Duration "> 3", Absence Description will be mandatory if you apply for absence of more than 3 days. On the other hand, for an Absence Type with Duration Unit as Hours and Duration "> 3", Absence Description will be mandatory if you apply for absence of more than 3 hours.
