Attendance and requests — the concepts

Before the page-by-page detail, one separation explains the shape of this whole menu.

Two things deliberately kept apart

Kreativstaff separates "my requests" from "approvals", even for people who do both.

A manager submitting their own overtime, and a manager clearing their team's overtime queue, are doing two different jobs at two different moments. Putting both on one screen is how somebody accidentally approves another person's request while thinking they are reading their own.

Menu group	What it holds	Decision buttons
My Requests	Only your own rows	None
Approvals	The queue awaiting decision	Yes — the only place

If you are hunting for an Approve button and cannot find it

You are in the wrong group. Every decision — for all eight request types — is made in Approvals → Approval Center.

Eight request types

Type	For what
Leave	Annual, sick, personal, and other types your company offers
Overtime	Work outside shift hours
Working from home	Working remotely on given days
Claims	Reimbursement of transport, meals, medical, and other costs
Attendance correction	Fixing a day recorded wrongly
Letters	Employment letters, income statements, and the like
Business trip	Travel out of town
Shift swap	Exchanging schedules with a colleague

Plus early departure, which is not submitted through a form but forms itself when you clock out before your shift ends.

Rules are enforced on the server

Every limit in this menu — monthly quotas, overtime increments, mandatory evidence — is checked on the server, not just on screen.

That means what you see on the form is the actual rule, not a copy that could differ. If the form says overtime is at least one hour, a 45-minute request will genuinely be refused.
