How can I enable basic mode when adding absences to an employee’s record?

In SMB, employees have the choice when requesting an absence to either select full/half days using “Basic mode” or specify the start and end times of the absence using “Advanced Mode”, while administrators can only use “Advanced Mode” when adding absence records directly to an employee’s record.

You can switch on “Basic Mode” for administrators by going to the “Administration” section on the main menu, then clicking on the “Absence/Approval Settings” link in the “Absence/Sickness Administration” panel. When the settings page is shown, use the dropdown list in the “Basic/Advanced Absence Mode” panel to determine whether basic mode is shown to administrators and click “Save Changes” to store the changes in the system.
