In the last few releases, we have upgraded and enhanced the Leave feature to give you a high degree of control, compliance, and usability.
About the enhancements
Integration of Leave with pipelines
In previous versions of Leave, leave approval was governed by approval groups. However, in Leave V2, the approval process is governed by pipelines.
Pipelines are Yomly components that enable organizations to:
- Implement custom approval processes
- Task specific audiences of employees with actioning different stages of workflows
Platform admins can set up leave approval pipelines for each leave type when configuring Leave settings for their business.
Organizations can implement access control for pipeline-based approval processes using other Yomly components called audiences; platform admins can assign one or multiple audiences to any pipeline state to assign all employees associated with those audiences as approvers for that stage of the process.
In our recent releases, we have seamlessly migrated your existing leave approval groups to our new dynamic pipelines to ensure:
-
Consistency between pipeline history and migrated approval group steps and statuses; no data loss
-
Correct functioning of automated notifications and auto-triggered approval workflows
-
No disruption to your ability to view and manage leave requests for your business
As an employee, after requesting leave, you can view the status and pipeline history of your leave request.
As a leave approver, when reviewing a leave request, you can action it by clicking an action button at the top of the dialogue (in Leave) or page (in Tasks).
As pipelines are completely customizable, organizations can configure the available actions according to their requirements.
Other UX improvements
We have also released the following enhancements to improve the user experience of Leave:
-
When requesting leave, you can select the start and end date on a calendar instead of manually entering the dates.
-
Employees (and approvers who can modify leave requests) can add and manage supporting documents of a leave request only when editing the request.
-
For leave types governed by pipelines in which action buttons are displayed, the UI of the leave approval dialogue is enhanced to properly position all buttons.
