11.19 Quotas

REACH allows you to create quotas for Leave and other events with consequences that are customisable.

Any event in REACH can act as a trigger to count towards a quote.  The most obvious use of Quotas is for the number of leave type events or late leave requests that a student may apply for in a semester or other defined period.  Other trigger examples may be Absent records in RollCall, Negative Pastoral Notes.

Creating a new Quota

• Set you General Details
• Label is the name of your Quota
• Minimum amount is the minimum trigger point
• Maximum amount is the maximum trigger point
• Timeframe Type is the preiod for which the Quota is relevant
• Trigger is what counts as an event for this trigger (eg: submit leave request)

Set your Quota Consequences

A consequence is the event that you want to occur when a Quota is met or exceeded, or not met in the instance where you may set a minimum quota to monitor events that may not be occurring.

Concequences can range from displaying a message to the user alerting staff or preventing the event from proceeding.

You can set multiple consequences for any individual Quota (eg:  Prevent Action from proceeding and Alert Staff)
