Find it: System Configuration >> Leave General
Your Leave Genaral settings is where you set the general portal rules for how it will manage the Leave Events that you create. There are a number of settings that you need to set that determine how Leave is managed and accessed by students in REACH.
Late SMS Template
When students are late to return to school from a leave event you have the opportunity to send them a quick SMS message. This is the default message that students will be sent from REACH when you activate a Late SMS message.
Staff PIN for departure
If you wish to ensure that there is staff-student contact at the point of student departure to an approved leave event you can require that a staff PIN number is entered before a student can be signed out on leave.
Staff PIN for return
If you wish to ensure that there is staff-student contact at student return to campus from an approved leave event you can require that a staff PIN number is entered before a student can be signed out on leave.
Boarder Quick SISO Widget
Students can see their on campus locations for movement in their login on the weba and mobile app. This setting determines whether they can also see their next leave event via the Quick SISO widget on both their web portal and mobile app.
Ad Hoc Host in Leave Details
By default REACH will only allow students to request leave with Hosts who are already entered into your system and associated with the student. This can be done by either the parent or a staff member. Allowing the Ad-Hoc-Host in the leave request will enable a student to process a leave request with a host who is not yet approved. Setting this to Yes will allow students to create a leave request with a host that is not in REACH or is not associated to them. They will be required to complete the host details in the Leave Notes.
Terms & Conditions Document
REACH allows you to attached a document and statement to requests for leave authorisations to parents and hosts so that your school Terms and Conditions are accessible to and recognised by parents and hosts when they are approving leave.
The approval statement provided in your leave request for authorisation sent to parents and hosts when this document is attached is the following;
Please note than by approving this Leave Request you are acknowledging that you understand and agree to SCHOOL NAME Terms and Conditions for Leave.
This setting allows you to map to the document that you want to display which you need to upload using the REACH File Manager.
1. Go to File Manager in your Main Menu.
This menu option may not be available for all users.
2. Upload your document. If you do not already have a folder for all of your policy documents then you can create a new folder if you need to. Storing documents in folders will assist you to maintain good order for your documents.
3. Go to System Configuration - Leave General - Terms and Conditions Document and map this setting to your file location in the REACH File Manager.
