# Approvals of absences

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/CPPTWpTnvBI>" %}

In this screencast you will learn how your absences are approved, how you can check the status of your absences and how you can - if you have the permission to do so - approve or reject your colleagues' absence requests.

## Approval requests

Under Time tracking > Approvals we find absences waiting for approval:

![](/files/f9c3ea03a914ed9fd2d43b9183ad0455bf5e9e76)

## Approval requests to me

In the left column I find absence requests from my colleagues to me. By clicking "Respond" I can open and approve them. It may also be visible to me who is representing the absent person if the absence type requires a substitution.

![](/files/f86fac242a02696765a3b5eac6a5722b012d520b)

## Approval requests from me

The right column shows which of my requests are awaiting approval. The list is for informational purposes only; I have no influence to change the status of my request here unless I am allowed to approve my own request.

## Cancel approval process

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

## 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/genehmigungen-von-abwesenheiten.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.
