Please note that leave tags are not given their own entitlement, but will be deducted from the specified leave type.
Also, when adding a leave tag, you will notice a button entitled: "Leave tag selection is required when employees book [leave type name] leave". By enabling this option, a user will need to select a leave tag when booking such a leave type:
If this is enabled, users will not be able to book such leave without selecting a tag:
Booking Leave with Tags
To book leave for a leave type which has a leave tag(s), the process is the same as booking leave normally. The only difference is that there is a new field called Leave Type Tag. By clicking on the drop down menu, you will be able to select the leave tag.
Additional Functionality
- Upon approval, managers will see the specified leave tag. This will give them better employee visibility.
