There are a few leave statuses involved depending on the actions taken by users on a leave request. Applied - Leave request that is created by employee, however that is not yet approved by the approver.
Approved - Leave request that is created by employee is approved by approver
Availed -The leave status automatically changes to "Availed" once the leave date arrives. This is the default status; regardless of whether leaves are approved, taken on past dates, or availed without approval, they will all be marked as "Availed" once the designated leave date is reached. If you wish to differentiate between statuses that indicate whether leave is for past dates, availed without approval, or granted after approval, you can configure two additional leave statuses below. These can be enabled or disabled according to your preference. Read Leave statuses. You can configure below statuses -
Canceled- When an employee cancels the applied leave request or approver cancels it for employee, such leave request is marked as canceled.
Rejected - Approver has rejected the leave request for some reason is marked as rejected.
