What is this?

If you'll be away for a longer time, for example on holiday, for work or due to illness, enter the period once. You then don't have to decline each event separately.

How to add an absence

On the web

  1. Click your profile picture at the top right and choose “Settings”.
  2. Choose “Absences” on the left, then “Add absence”.
  3. Enter From and Until and click “Next”.
  4. Chorilo shows you the events in this period. Untick any events you'll still attend.
  5. Click “Save”.

In the app

  1. Tap your avatar at the top right and choose “Absences”.
  2. Tap “Add absence”, choose From and Until, and tap “Next”.
  3. Tap any events you'll still attend so the tick disappears, then tap “Save”.

What happens next

  • The chosen events are set to Declined for you, with the reason “Planned absence”.
  • New events in the period are declined for you automatically.
  • If an event's response deadline has passed, you can't decline it here. Please talk to your choir director.
  • If only your parents respond for you, the answer stays with them.

Delete an absence

Delete the absence in the list. Upcoming events declined because of it are open again, and you can respond anew. Events where you changed your response yourself stay as they are. To change the period, delete the absence and add it again.

Frequently asked questions

Can my choir see why I'm away?▾
No. You don't give a reason. The response only says “Planned absence”, and only people allowed to see decline reasons can read it. Nobody but you sees the period itself.
Does the absence apply to all my choirs?▾
Yes. It applies to all events in all your choirs.
Can I still come to one event?▾
Yes. Untick it in the confirmation step, or change your response on the event later. This also works for events declined automatically.
