# Absence cover

## Request a replacement for my own absence

This video shows how to request an absence and how - if configured - a replacement is searched for the absence period:

## Time tracking overview > Replacements

In this overview I find all replacement requests that other users have made to me and can respond to them.

## Replacement requests to me

Replacement requests to me are - if any - in the left column. By clicking "Answer" a dialog opens that allows me to accept or decline a replacement.

## Replacement requests from me

In the right column I find - if any - replacement requests that I have made to other users of the team.

I can here, as long as the replacement has not yet accepted, also decide to ask another person to replace. The followups to the originally selected replacement will be deleted as a result.

Replacements and absences are also shown on the dashboard:

This screencast shows what happens when you take over a replacement and how you can access the followups of the colleague you are replacing.

## Cancel replacement process

If I want to cancel the process, I can simply delete my absence request in the calendar.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.dieagenturverwaltung.de/die-agenturverwaltung-en/zeiterfassung-1/abwesenheiten/abwesenheitsvertretungen.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
