Enable Dynamic Absences Mode

The Dynamics Absences mode in Lanteria HR provides extended functionality that provides the ability to create custom absence types.

This topic is aimed at engineers and IT Pros who configure Lanteria HR.

To enable the Dynamic Absences mode

1. Go to Settings > Site Lists and Libraries > General Settings.
2. Create a setting in the General Settings list with title Dynamic Absences; set the Value field to yes.
3. Go to Settings > Settings and Configuration > General > Company Settings > Development tab and, regardless of the Lanteria HR version you currently use, set the Version setting to 4.3.18 or an earlier version number.

4. Go to Settings > Settings and Configuration > Time and Attendance > Absences > Advanced tab and ensure that the Time & Attendance Storage setting is set to SharePoint.
   

5. Start Windows PowerShell as Administrator and deactivate and then re-activate the Lanteria HR Web and Content features using the following commands:

• disable-spfeature Lanteria.ES.SharePoint_LanteriaContent -url http://siteurl/es confirm:$false
• disable-spfeature Lanteria.ES.SharePoint_LanteriaWeb-url http://siteurl/es confirm:$false

6. In Windows PowerShell, re-activate the Lanteria Web and Content features using the following commands:

• enable-spfeature Lanteria.ES.SharePoint_LanteriaWeb-url http://siteurl/es confirm:$false
• enable-spfeature Lanteria.ES.SharePoint_LanteriaContent -url http://siteurl/es confirm:$false

To set up dynamic absences after activation (engineer's part)

1. Create an item in the HR menu with a page reference to the following: SitePages/Absence/AbsenceTypesManager.aspx

This can be done from two places:

• Settings > Settings and Configuration > System Settings > User Interface > Menu Items.

or

• Directly in the Menu Items list (Settings > Site Lists and Libraries > Menu Items 2013)

2. Modify the workflows for absences cancellation. The workflow name should be "WF_Cancel" + the internal name of the absences type list. For example, WF_CancelHolidays. This must be done for absences, vacations, sicknesses and business trips.
3. After the customer decides to use a custom absence type and creates it in the Absence Types Manager, the engineer should create a workflow for notifications on the add/edit and cancel workflow as for other types.
