Column	Description
Absence	The absence type
Last Year	Remainder of the last year. Note, that the factor of the absence type is not taken into account here. This value just indicates how much more of this absence type the user would have been allowed to take in the last year. Thus, you can only enter integers here.
Allowance	Allowance for the current period. Note, that the factor of the absence type is not taken into account here. This value just indicates how many times the user can select this absence type in the current year. Thus, you can only enter integers here.
Taken	How often was this absence type taken by this user. Note, that the factor of the absence type is not taken into account here.
Factor	For your information, the factor of this absence type is shown here. It is not used to to compute any of the other values.
Remainder	Taking into account the values from Last Year, Allowance and Taken, this value shows, how many more of this absence type the user can take in the current year. The formula is: (Last Year + Allowance) - Taken

The general allowance for an absence type is set by the administrator. The allowance here is the individual allowance for this user and will overrule the general allowance if it differs from it. The left over value from last year is an individual value.
