2. Create a Project and Phase
Next, create a Project with a Phase - you can name these both Leave. Users will log their time against this Phase.
❗Set the Phase to Public - this is what allows anyone to log time against it❗
Create a Phase for each type of Leave category you wish to log time against (e.g., Leave, Bereavement, etc.)
3. Configure the Holiday Settings
Set up the default holiday allowance period and number of days in Global Settings, found in the Precursive HQ tab. You can override the number of holiday days for individual resources later. Then define the start and end date to the Holiday Allowance Period.
Check the Holiday Request checkbox to enable a separate process which can be configured in Approval Settings. To learn more, see Approvals Configuration.
4. Enable Holiday for individual Resources
In order for Holiday to be visible to your team members (named
Resources) in My Precursive, you need to ensure that Use Holiday Allowance is checked for each
Resource. To find this setting, navigate to Precursive HQ, click View All on the Resources tile, select the Resource by clicking on their blue Resource ID, and finally scroll to the bottom to the Holiday Allowance section.
❗It will, by default, award the full annual allowance (configured in step 2: Holiday Settings) to each Resource when checked. Adjust manually for a prorated amount
❗Please see
Approvals Configuration for more information.
