"use": "Requests are approved or rejected in the table row. What counts for the decision stands in the row — who from the team is already absent in the same period, and whether the team would then be understaffed. Approving is one click and can be taken back; rejecting asks for the reason. Use the pattern as long as a glance is enough for the decision.",
"decisions": [
"The decision stands in the row because one look is enough — who, when, and who else is absent at the same time. A case that needs history or a conversation is a queue with detail, not this pattern.",
"The collision stands in the row: the badge '3/4 absent' on the open request, and the names of the others in the cell. The badge says what it counts in two words; its title says it in a sentence. The threshold is half the team, and it is a number and not a red icon, because two of two and three of eight are different situations. Only approved absences count; an open request is no absence yet.",
"Approving is one click with no dialog, because it is the expected answer and can be taken back. Rejecting and asking a question open a dialog that asks for the text and says who reads it.",
"Taking back is a row action, not a step back: a decided row carries Undo instead of Approve and returns to Received. Only deleting, which does not come back, gets an alert dialog that names the request and says it cannot be undone.",
"One action is visible and the rest sit in the More menu: approving is the daily action, rejecting needs its dialog anyway, and the rare and destructive entries come last behind a divider with their full labels. The price is one click more for rejecting.",
"No selection and no toolbar actions: the same action never stands in two places, and approving many at once is a bulk case of its own. The toolbar carries only the search and the quick filter.",
"The status is a badge in the past tense — Received, Queried, Approved, Rejected — with the reason in its title, because a badge does not explain its state.",
"How long a request waits stands in the row only from two weeks on and only while it is open, and the list is sorted by receipt, oldest first.",
"One notification above the table counts the understaffed teams in a sentence; it goes with the last conflict and returns with the next. The row is the confirmation, and a toast appears only where the row leaves the view."
