19. Events

The following entries constitute events:

• sick leave
• vacation
• compensatory time

You have been introduced to these events in the user settings, where you could assign colours to them. You can also create your own kinds of events, which is described further below.

Events differ a little from entries.

• Events cannot be moved.
• Events cannot be resized.
• Events are not connected to an order.

Events have a long-term character, which is why they are built up differently than entries. However, that poses no disadvantage as regards handling.
