Diesen sollte man vorher festlegen, damit man nicht f\u00fcr jeden Gottesdienst jeden einzelnen Dienst per Hand eintragen muss. Diese Vorlage wird dann f\u00fcr alle Gottesdienste angewendet, kann dann aber nat\u00fcrlich noch f\u00fcr jeden einzelnen Gottesdienst angepasst werden.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Absences<\/h2>\n\n<p>It is extremely helpful for duty scheduling if every employee has entered their absences. Everyone can enter for themselves when they are on vacation, for example. With certain rights, it is also possible to enter absences for other employees about which you have been informed verbally, for example.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The advantages are:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Absent persons are not included in <strong>the automatic scheduling of<\/strong> persons (by magic wand).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For manual scheduling:<\/strong> if a leader wants to enter an absent person manually, they will receive a message and a warning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Absences can be displayed both in the event module and in the calendar.<br\/>A more detailed explanation can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/help\/churchtools-modules\/mitarbeiter\/0-abwesenheit\/\" type=\"docs\" id=\"7236\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facts<\/h2>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/help\/churchtools-modules\/verwalten-events\/40-wie-lege-ich-fakten-an\/\" type=\"docs\" id=\"7140\">facts<\/a> allow you to enter figures for various events.
