Period Start	Enter the date of the first day in this period.

Allow Booking Over Period End	Select this check box to allow absence registrations to start in one vacation period and end in another vacation period. Note: If each period uses a different time unit, this leads to a vacation period with registrations on both hours and days. It is not recommended to select this check box if the current vacation period and next vacation period are set up to accept registrations in different time units. This allows you to avoid a vacation period with a mix of hours and days registrations.
Time Unit	elect one of the following options from the drop-down list: Hours Days Absence registrations of any absence type created within the period are registered using the selected time unit. Information on absence registrations in this period are shown in hours or days, according to the current value of this field. The value can be changed and subsequent registrations in the vacation period will follow this time unit. Thus, a vacation period can have mixed time unit registrations. However, it is not recommended to have a vacation period with a mix of hours and days registrations.
Suggested Maximum days for Absence Booking	Enter the suggested maximum number of days that can be booked with a single absence request. A warning will be given when approving requests that cover more than the number of days that is specified in this field.
