Can I note which child I have taken VAB or parental leave for?

Yes, in Next Mobile there is currently support for adding a child to your reported absence to keep track of which child you have taken parental leave or VAB for. So far, this information is not sent with the time report to your employer. This may change if the regulations from Försäkringskassan change, making it mandatory for employers to register this as well. 

Here's how to do it:

1. Click on + Add and then on Child.
2. A new field will light up, where you can either write your child's name / add from the list. 

You can clear the list of children under settings in the app.
