Making Time Off wizards and Settings summary available to users in your org

Before you can use the Time Off wizards or view the Absence Accrual Rule Settings summary in your existing org, you need to add them to page layouts:

  • The action button to start Create Absence Accrual Rule wizard to the Absence Accrual Pattern detail page.

  • The action buttons to start Edit Accrual Rule wizard and use Seniority Settings to the Absence Accrual Rule detail page.

  • The Settings summary component to the Absence Accrual Rule detail page.

The wizards use Salesforce Flows. To ensure all users have the right permissions to run them, see Absence and Vacation | Profile and permission set access.

Note

The wizards and the Settings Summary are only available in Salesforce Lightning Experience and in the Sage People Time Lightning app. For more information on enabling Lightning Experience in your org, see Sage People Lightning Getting Started Guide.
