# Filter absences

You can filter absences in Capitech Flow by period, department, employee, absence code, and status.

## What is the absence filter used for?

The filter in **Absence** is used to find the correct absences, absence requests, or registrations.

Filtering works in the same way as in time management. You can combine multiple filters to narrow down the list.

## Use manual search in the filter bar

You can also type directly into the filter bar to find what you're looking for faster.

This is useful if you want to:

-   find a specific employee
-   find a specific absence code
-   filter out specific registrations in the list
