Reasons and lookup overrides

Reasons​

Employees pick a reason when they apply for leave or raise an attendance request. Manage the list in Reason configuration.

  1. Select Add reason configuration.
  2. Choose the Module and Type (for example a leave type or request type), and enter the Description employees will see.
  3. Set the Order (0 or more; lower shows first) and Active, and save.

If a leave type has no reasons, the apply form shows "Reason is not configured for the leave type".

Lookup overrides​

Many lists in HCM Cafe, such as titles, marital status or holiday types, have standard values. Lookup override configuration lets you change the wording or order for your organization without changing how they work.

  1. Choose the Lookup type.
  2. For each Default Value, enter an Override Value and optionally an Override Description.
  3. Set Order By and Active, and save.

Example: override On Duty as Client visit.
