Why I picked it
People can see how long an absence is without clicking into it.
Where it helps
A manager glancing at the team calendar sees that someone is off for the afternoon, not the whole day.
From Oracle's note
A small 26B change that makes a genuine difference for employees and managers checking absence information on the Redwood Calendar. Now shows the absence duration directly in the calendar event title, no need to click into the absence to find out how much time was recorded.
- Elapsed schedules and day UOM absences, duration shown in parentheses after the absence type name
- Time-based schedules, monthly view, absence start time displayed alongside the absence type name
- Time-based schedules, weekly and daily views, absence shown as a time-blocked event spanning the actual start and end time
No setup needed, it's already working on your Redwood absence calendar. If your teams are still clicking into absence records just to check duration, this is already solved.
