You can set Cutt-Off times for any Leave Types that help you to manage when students can apply for the leave. Setting Cut-Offs is done in the Leave Type Configuration screen (Cut-Offs Tab).
Cut-Offs can be Soft or Hard.
A SOFT Cut-Off will allow the leave to still be submitted if the cut-off time is passed.
A HARD Cut-Off will not allow the leave to be submitted if the cut-off time is passed.
Cut-Offs can be set to expire on a set date or to run on a weekly cycle.
