Explanatory Notes

At the beginning of 2021 we introduced the ability for users to upload explanatory notes to the LeaveWizard system from both the web app and mobile app. This article explains how you can upload them.

Uploading Explanatory Notes

An Administrator can make an explanatory note required when the duration of an event period reaches a certain limit. When an absence is recorded an email is sent to you and a message appears in your web app inbox (‘Envelope’ icon) and a notification (‘Bell’ icon) is added to the mobile app. When an explanatory note is required it will have the words ‘…you’re required to upload an explanatory Note’ in the subject name and ‘You are required to submit an explanatory note for this event’ in the message with a ‘Click here to upload one’ link to allow an explanatory note to be uploaded.

When you click on the web app link you will be taken to the ‘Upload an Explanatory Note’ page.

You can then either drag ‘n’ drop or select a file. Most popular image file formats are supported including jpg and png.

On the mobile app you are given the option to ‘Take a picture’ or ‘Upload from device’.

You can also upload the explanatory note by editing the recorded absence.

Once an explanatory note has been uploaded you can view it and if necessary delete it and upload a new one by editing the recorded absence.
