Why I picked it
For absence types measured in days, a fast formula can now work out partial-day durations other than a full or half day, for workers on elapsed schedules.
Where it helps
An organisation with shift workers on elapsed schedules records partial days more accurately, instead of only full or half days.
What to do now
- Check whether you have absence types measured in days for workers on elapsed schedules.
- If you do, choose or write a fast formula and select it in Conversion Formula on the absence type's Type Details tab.
- Test a full-day and a half-day entry on the Redwood absence page and check the durations.

Watch out: Oracle says the formula must return a duration of no more than 1 day.
