Who this guide is for: System administrators – Requires ‘User Templates’ permission
Overview:
The Entitlement Time Unit setting controls whether users’ entitlement balances display in Days or Hours. This setting change applies uniformly across all elements.
How Entitlement Time Unit Works:
The Time Unit determines the display format for entitlement balances:
- Days: Balances shown in full/decimal days
- Hours: Balances shown in hours:minutes
When set at the Template level, it overrides the Global setting for all users on that template who have no User-level override.
How to Set Up Entitlement Time Unit (Template):
- Go to Admin tools > Admin panel > Templates
- Locate the template and click Edit on its row – you’ll land on the Template Settings tab by default.
- Open the Entitlements tab.
- Click Edit beside the entitlement pot you wish to update.
- Set Time Unit to Days or Hours.
- Click Save template at the top of the page.
Additional Information:
- Entitlement Pot: A grouping of leave balances (e.g. Annual Leave).
- Requires ‘User Templates’ permission.
- Warning: Template-level settings override Global settings and apply to users without User-level overrides.
