Overview:
This guide explains how to link alert groups to specific absence types, ensuring the right notifications are triggered when these absences are requested or approved.

- Find the absence type (browse or use search filter)
- Click Edit on the right-hand side
- Scroll to Additional Settings section
- Select relevant group(s) from Alert Groups dropdown
