A Leave Application is a time-off request. HR records one under Leaves. The employee can send their own from the portal. See Request time off from the portal.

Record a request

1. Open Leaves, then Leave Application.
2. The list is titled Leave Applications. Columns are Employee, Type, Approver, Start, End, and Status. Search says Search leave applications...
3. Choose New Leave Application.
4. The dialog is New Leave Application, and it says you can add the request without leaving the list.
5. Fill Employee, Leave Type, Start Date, and End Date. Policy, Half day, Half day date, Reason, and Leave Approver are on the same form. Leave Approver Name and Status are filled in for you. Status starts as Open.
6. Choose Create Leave Application.

You should see Leave Application created. The new row appears on the list with Status Open. That means the request is waiting for a decision.

An empty list says No leave applications yet and Submit and review time-off requests when employees need leave. New Leave Application is on that empty page too.

If something looks wrong

Employee, Leave Type, Start Date, and End Date are required. If one is missing, the request is not created and the dialog stays open. The notice is Failed to save, or it names the missing field.

Status stays read-only. You approve or deny from the list while the status is Open. See Approve time off and Deny time off.
