Guided walkthrough

Approve leave and time off

Where requests wait, how to decide one, and who hears the answer.

Step 1 of 4

Where requests land

Leave and availability changes wait in Approvals until somebody decides on them. Nothing moves on its own, and nothing lapses while it sits there.

Open in Orbit

This walkthrough explains the steps. Moving through it does not change your business or mark work as completed. Links to Orbit open in a new tab and may require sign-in.

All steps

Where requests land
Leave and availability changes wait in Approvals until somebody decides on them. Nothing moves on its own, and nothing lapses while it sits there.
Open in Orbit
Decide a leave request
Open the leave requests and work through one. Whichever way you go, the request stops waiting and the answer is kept against it.

Availability waits here too
When somebody changes the days they can work, that arrives in the same list. Approving it updates the pattern the roster builder works from, so the change reaches next week rather than just your inbox.
Open in Orbit
Who hears about it
The answer goes back to the person who asked, and they see it the moment they open Orbit. Nobody else on the team is told.
