# Report absence

If you have a desk or office space **assigned to you**, PADS4 Workspace allows you to **release it during absences** such as holidays or leave. This helps others make use of available space while you're away.

***

### **Step 1: Access Your Calendar**

If you have a designated workspace, you will see its calendar as well. This provides visibility on your scheduled presence or absence.

***

### **Step 2: Open the Absence Tool**

1. Click the **“+” button** located in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
2. Then select the **red icon** to begin an absence declaration.

***

### **Step 3: Define Your Absence Period**

Use the calendar view to specify the **start and end date** for your absence.

***

### **Step 4: Confirm Your Absence**

You can mark multiple days at once if needed.

Click **Save** to confirm your absence period.

***

### **Step 5: View the Absence in Your Calendar**

Your absence will be clearly displayed in **red** in your main calendar, making it visible to system administrators and freeing up your reserved space for others.
