What the module checks
- One record per employee/date; saving again updates it.
- Start and end time must be valid and different.
- The list loads recent availability from 14 days ago, capped at 250 rows.
What happens next
The module saves the permitted change and records the resulting status, version, delivery or synchronisation evidence. Reopen the relevant register and verify it.
Troubleshooting
- If the control is missing, confirm the required HRM permission and module version 1.3.0.
- If saving fails, correct the exact field or state named in the validation message.
- If an email/automation is missing, review the module delivery/audit log and host cron/mail settings.
