Why I picked it
Answering "who changed this absence, and when?" no longer needs an export or a support request.
Where it helps
HR investigating a disputed absence sees who created and last updated it, right on the page.
From Oracle's note
Anyone who has had to investigate a disputed absence record, or respond to an audit query about who changed what and when, will understand why this 26B addition matters. Adds four new columns to the Absences and Entitlements page and the Absence Planning page, giving HR admins and managers immediate visibility of record history without leaving the page.
- Creation Date
- Created By
- Last Update Date
- Updated By
This isn't auto-enabled. The columns are hidden by default and need to be switched on. If your team is currently exporting data or raising support requests to answer basic audit questions about absence records, this is worth switching on.
