# How can I specify that only full days can be booked?

Until now, all absences could only be booked with half and full days. We have received repeatedly from you that there are sometimes absences that can only be booked for a whole day.

We have now solved this problem for you and have added the following checkmark to the Leave Types:

![Bildschirmfoto 2026-08-20 um 17.12.39](https://info.absence.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Helpcenter/Bildschirmfoto%202026-08-20%20um%2017.12.39.png?width=670&height=664&name=Bildschirmfoto%202026-08-20%20um%2017.12.39.png)

As soon as you activate this checkbox, it is no longer possible to book a half day with this Leave Type - the half day is automatically extended to a full day.

Have fun with our solution!
