Leave request cut-off times and how to set them in REACH.
You can set Cutt-Off times for any Leave
Types that help you to manage when students can apply for the leave.
Setting Cut-Offs is done in the Leave Type
Configuration screen > Cut-Offs Tab.
Cut-Offs can be Soft or Hard.
- A SOFT Cut-Off will
allow the leave to still be submitted if the cut-off time is passed.
- A HARD Cut-Off will
not allow the leave to be submitted if the cut-off time is passed.
Cut-Offs can be set to expire on a set date, to run on a regular weekly cycle or to operate with a Buffer.
- Weekly Cycle cut offs will close and re-open on the specified days and time set in the weekly settings.
- Specific Date Cut-Offs are ideal for
special events or holidays that require leave to be submitted by a particular
closure date.
- Buffer Cut-Offs will set a Buffer Period (in hours) which is a minimum time frame between the request being submitted and the departure
time for the request (Eg: Leave must be submitted >48 hours from
departure time)
Your Cut-Off message
Set
your Custom Message that Students or Parents will see when a cut-off is active as they submit this
leave request. The Message only shows when the Cut-Off is breached and it will display for Hard and Soft cut-offs.
