With absence groups, you can easily define the order in which absence types are used.
This allows Strobbo to automatically select the correct absence type. Once the balance of the first absence type is exhausted, Strobbo will automatically switch to the next one in the group. ✅
Creating an absence group
⚠️ You need admin permissions to manage absence groups.
Go to Management → Settings.
Click Absences.
Open the Absence Groups tab.
Click the green Add button.
Give your absence group a clear name (for example, Vacation).
Assigning absence types
Click the three dots (⋮) next to the absence group.
Select Assign.
Choose the absence types you want to add to the group.
Setting the priority
Within the group, you can define the order in which the absence types are used.
🔄 Simply drag and drop the absence types into the desired order.
The absence type at the top of the list will always be used first.
Example
Suppose you have the following absence types:
Vacation Last Year
Vacation
Add both to the Vacation absence group and place Vacation Last Year at the top.
📌 When an employee requests Vacation, Strobbo will first deduct the balance from Vacation Last Year. Once that balance has been used, it will automatically continue with the balance of Vacation.
This ensures that the correct absence balance is always used automatically. ✨
