# Submit a Leave Request

> Submit a leave request from the FieldKo Atlas app and understand the date rules that apply.

A leave request tells your manager when you'll be away. If your company uses FieldKo for leave, you can submit requests from the FieldKo Atlas app, even when you're offline.

## Before You Begin

If your company uses FieldKo for leave, a leave list appears in your side menu. If you don't see it, ask your admin.

<Warning>
  **You can't change a leave request from the app after you submit it.** Opening an existing request for editing starts a **new** blank request. Check your dates before you tap **Submit**. To change or cancel leave, contact your manager or edit the request in Salesforce.
</Warning>

## Submit Leave

Check your dates carefully, because you can't change the request after you submit it:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Leave List">
    In the side menu, tap your company's leave item.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a New Request">
    Tap **New**. The **Submit Leave** form opens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the Details">
    Choose the **Leave Type** and **Duration Type**. Set the **Start Date** and **End Date**.

    * Optional: Add **Comments**.
    * For a half-day leave, the end date is hidden, and you see "Half day leave is automatically set for the selected date only."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit the Request">
    Tap **Submit**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You see "Leave Request Submitted". The request uploads at your next [sync](/sync/sync-screen).
