# Submitting a leave request

Requests in Proplanum replace paper leave forms. An employee reports leave or another absence straight from the application, the supervisor reviews it in one place, and an approved absence appears in the work schedule immediately. Below we show step by step how to submit a request — in the browser and in the mobile app.

# Submitting a request in the browser

1. Go to the **Requests** tab and click **"Add request"** in the top right corner.

![The request list with the "Add request" button](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/3/1/2/4/3124ad20f50ccc00/ppen-w022_12drunf.png)

2. Point to the **employee** you are submitting the request for and click **"Next"**.

|| Remember: The employee selection step is seen by the Manager, the Location Manager and the Administrator. An employee submitting a request for themselves goes straight to the calendar.

3. Mark the **date range** in the calendar and set the options, then click **"Next"**:

* **All day** — a request for a full day. Turn it off to give specific **hours** (part-day leave).
* **Skip weekends** / **Skip holidays** — those days are not counted towards the request.
* **Automatic approval** — the request will be approved without a supervisor's decision (if the option is available).
* **Request recipient** — your main supervisor by default.

4. Choose the **request type** and click **"Next"**. For limited requests the used and available limit is shown; a type with an exceeded limit is inactive.

5. If you need to, add a **note** or an **attachment**, go **"Next"**, check the **summary** and click **"Save"**.

| Important: You will get a notification when the supervisor changes the status. An approved request appears in your work schedule automatically.

6. The request will appear in the list along with its status.
