Leave Requests

Open Settings from the side menu bar, then Calendar > Leave Requests.

Licence

Available with the Tuition, Encore, Merit or Group licence.

This is where leave awaiting a decision is dealt with. Any absence booked against a leave type marked Needs Approval arrives here rather than simply being recorded.

Approving a request puts the absence in the diary; declining it does not. Either way the person who asked is answered, which is the reason for routing it through a queue rather than letting bookings land silently in the calendar.

It is worth clearing regularly. A request sitting unanswered still shows as unresolved to the person who made it, and teaching cover cannot be arranged around an absence nobody has confirmed.
