4. Record attributes against a person 

Recording leave and absence

  • Whilst the Leave and Absence functionality within PeopleXD is not being used by your department, an interim workaround is available. 
  • The interim workaround involves using the 'Sick Leave' and Annual Leave' attributes, by either assigning them to single or multiple shifts.
  • The default times for the leave attributes are 9:00 - 17:00, but this can be overwritten.  Always ensure the correct Team is selected.
  • Please note this will not automatically filter to any other systems or processes. 
 

A. Assign attribute to a person on a long-term basis:

For example, record that an individual will be a first aider every time they work for two years (or interim workaround for recording leave and absence, eg 1 week of annual leave).

  2. If you manage multiple teams, select the required one.

  6. Select the Appointment (see step 3).
  7. Select the required Attribute from the list.
  8. Enter the required Start Date.
  9. Enter the required End Date (if it's indefinite, leave blank). 
  10. Click Save.

B. Assign attribute to a person for one shift only:

For example, record that an individual will be a key holder next Wednesday only, (or interim workaround for recording leave and absence, eg 1 day of sickness leave)

  1. Navigate to Workforce Management Dashboard > Roster Details.
  2. If you manage multiple teams, select the required one.
  3. Navigate to the required Week and select Apply.
