Leave Restrictions
Leave restrictions allow you to define groups of users and the total number of users from that group that can be off at the same time. You can also restrict the number of users off at the same time per workgroup, location or even the entire organisation elsewhere on LeaveWizard. There are links on the page to go to the pages to do that. However, using leave restriction groups is the recommended way to achieve this.
Creating and managing leave restriction groups is available to administrators from ‘Settings’ on the main menu. Select the ‘Leave Restrictions’ sub menu. If you have no defined groups, you can create a new group by clicking the ‘New Leave Restriction User Group’.
The ‘Leave Restriction User Group Details’ page has five sections. We will now examine each section and its associated settings. This will allow you to configure the Leave Restriction Group correctly from the page. You can add all the members of a workgroup or individual users to create whatever user group membership you need.
Group Name
This is a required field which allows you to enter a name for the user group.
Maximum Employees On Leave
This field allows you to enter the maximum number of users that can be off at the same time for this user group.
Workgroups
This section has two scrolling panes listing available workgroups and a vertical navigation bar between them. To add all the members of a workgroup to the group, select a workgroup in the left-hand pane. Then click the right arrow to move it to the right-hand pane. Alternately, to remove a workgroup from the group, select a workgroup in the right-hand pane. Then move it to the left-hand pane by clicking the left arrow. Clicking the double left or double right arrow moves all the entries from one pane to the other. Tip! You can also use ‘Ctrl-click’ to select multiple workgroups at the same time.
Employees
This section works similarly to the Workgroups section, except it is used to select individual employees.
Submit / Cancel
These buttons allow you to either submit or cancel the entries you have made and will return you to the previous page.
When you have added all the members of the group, press ‘Submit’. It will create the new Leave Restriction User Group.
Once you have created at least one Leave Restriction User Group, you will get the option to edit or delete groups. Clicking the ‘Delete’ button will delete the group listed in that row. Clicking the ‘Edit’ button will take you to the Leave Restriction User Group Details page for the group listed in that row.
