Action	Description
	Enables edit mode, thereby allowing you to do the following: change the absence type of the leave request delete days from the leave request in the leave calendar change the start or end time of any leave day in the leave calendar add comments to or remove comments from the leave request attach files to the leave request or remove attached files from the leave request. This action is only available if the current status of the leave request is Pending.
	Changes the status of the leave request to Cancelled, thereby indicating that the leave will not or has not been taken. This action is unavailable if the current status of the leave request is Submitted, which indicates that a payee has submitted the leave request on their own behalf. Where this is the case, to cancel the leave request you must first reject the leave request, which will allow the payee to then cancel the request if necessary. If you are a leave proxy you may not have permission to cancel a leave request once the leave request has been approved and paid (i.e. when the leave request status is Approved and the payment state is Processed or Partially Processed). If you are a leave administrator, you can cancel a leave request even after it has been paid if necessary. If a processed (paid) leave request is cancelled and the leave items have already been paid, manual items will need to be processed via the Pay module in order to reverse the payments.

This action is only available if the current status of the leave request is Pending or Submitted.
	Changes the status of the leave request to Rejected and, depending on how your system is configured, sends an email or SMS notification to the payee to inform them that their leave request has not been declined. This action is only available if the leave request has been submitted by a payee and its current status is Submitted.
