Excuse an absence in End of Day
Record why a report was missed without creating a pretend response.
Before you start
You need response-review permission. The action is available for a day marked as missed.
Step by step
- Open End of Day and choose View responses.
- In Compliance, identify the exact person and date.
- If there are several forms, select the relevant one before opening details.
- Click the missed-day cell and confirm that the panel belongs to that person.
- Enter a reason when appropriate and click Excuse this day.
- Check the Excused status. To correct an accidental excuse, open that day and use Remove excuse.
How context is preserved
An excuse shows the reason when provided, who recorded it, and when. The compliance CSV includes the reason so an exported review retains that context.
Use a brief, sufficient description such as vacation without unnecessary personal information. Excusing a day does not modify an existing response or change the form’s overall schedule.
What to expect
The day is excused and no longer counts as a missed report, without pretending a form was submitted.
Troubleshooting
If the button is missing, check permissions, selected form, and day status. A submitted or unscheduled day does not need this action.
If saving fails, keep the reason and read the error; do not assume it applied until the status updates.
