# View and open absence from the Hour module

This article shows how you can view absence in Hours, and how to open the absence to view details or make changes.

## View absence in Hours

You can view absence in Hours by clicking the heart icon in the top-right corner. When the view is active, you will see absence together with the time registrations in the overview.

You can turn on this view in **Hours** to get the best possible overview in one place.

## Open absence from Hours

If you want to see more information about a leave of absence, you can open it directly from the list of time registrations.

Here's how:

1.  Find the absence in **Hours**.
2.  Click the three dots to the left of the absence.
3.  Select the action you want:
4.  -   **Go to absence**, using the heart icon
    -   **Edit absence**, using the pencil icon

The absence opens in a new tab, so you can view or edit it without navigating away from **Hours**.

### Go to absence

If you select **Go to absence** using the heart icon, a new tab opens with an overview of the relevant absence.

Here you see the absence view with more details about creation, the absence period, and the absence percentage.

### Edit absence

If you select **Edit absence**, the absence opens in a new tab and is ready to edit.

Here, the manager can change fields such as department, absence code, and date.
