write Confirm
Does what +Request absence does in My Calendar. The request goes to your manager as pending, and the response shows the days counted and the balance that remains. from_time and to_time work only for types that accept hours. Dates that clash with an absence you already have are refused with the reason. Documents are not uploaded through this tool; attach them in Bizneo. Your manager is notified. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
