When your event requires a leave approval from parents for student attendance you can use the Group that has been created for your event to generate a group leave request that will be circulated to parents individually for approval.
Why processing a group leave event is a good strategy.
When using REACH Events it is a good strategy to process leave requests for your students going on the event rather than just signing them out the a location for the event. This will ensure that you have a good trail of approvals for the event and it makes managing and monitoring permissions from parents for students to attend an event easier to manage.
Also, when signing students out the the event it is easy to simply sign them out to their Next Approved Leave event when signing them out of campus on departure to the event.
How to create a group leave request for your event.
When sign up is closed for your event and you want to create a leave request for all of your students who registered for the event it is time to create a group leave request.
Step 1: Go to Create Leave and select the Group Leave creation icon in the boarder name selection field.
Step 2: Select the Event Group that has been created for your event to obtain a list of registered attendees from the bulk selection option. Select all students in the group and use the selected contacts for your leave request.
Step 3: Submit a leave request for your student group.
