If you can't see your leave events in the Tasks view because they're outside of those dates, use the Controls to change the **FROM DATE** and **TO DATE** to match the dates of your leave events.

If you **do** have visible leave requests, the button will be on the top left of the screen, above **Controls**. 1.

The **NUMBER OF LEAVE HOURS FIRST DAY** and **NUMBER OF LEAVE HOURS LAST DAY** will be based on your regular work pattern. If, for example, you're only taking a half-day of leave, you can adjust the number of hours to reflect the actual hours of leave you'll be taking. 3. The **BALANCE METRICS** calculates the number of days leave that you have: a. before you take the leave that you're currently requesting. b. taken for the leave that you're currently requesting. c. after you've taken the leave that you're currently requesting. 4.
