Use the Leave Calendar Groups grid to create a department leave calendar that shows the employees currently on leave. After the leave calendar group is created, you can:
Define cutoff values that show how leaves will affect the department for reconciliation purposes
Assign request groups to the leave calendar group
Assign the approval groups that may access the leave calendar
Employee approvers and administrators can use the department leave calendar to view approved and pending requests for their assigned departments in a calendar-style view. They can access the department leave calendar from the Request Queue page or the Leave Request Detail page.
You set the cutoff colors using hexadecimal format (RRGGBB or Red Red Green Green Blue Blue).
