Add the absences of field workers

Is one of your staff members off sick, on leave or attending a meeting? You can report them as absent on AntsRoute so that they are not assigned to work during this period of absence. To do this, follow these steps:

• Add an absence from the “Resources” module
• Add an absence from the “Agenda” tab
• Delete an absence

💡 If work is assigned to the agent or driver you have reported as absent, you need to unplan the route or re-optimise the routes.

From the “Ressources” module

1. Go to the “Resources” module.
2. Click on the “Drivers” tab.
3. Identify your driver and click on “...” > “Edit”.

   

4. Click on “Absences”.
5. Click on the “Add an absence” button.

   

6. Select a “Start date”.
7. Select an “End date”.
8. If necessary, determine the “Reason” for absence.
9. Click on the “Save” button.
