How do I add allowances in bulk?

• Login to your WhosOff account
• Click on Administration on the Left Hand menu
• Click on Admin Dashboard
• Under the heading Bulk click on Balance Administration

On the resulting page, use the Department drop down to select which staff members you would like to manage allowances for, either All Departments or a specific department.

Immediately after selecting your department(s) click on Search. This will display all staff based on your selection and in line with each staff member you will see their;

• Opening Balance This Year
• Remaining Balance This Year
• Opening Balance Next Year
• Remaining Balance Next Year

Where you can then either manually enter the required balances, or make any adjustments to existing balances where necessary. Alternatively, there are 2 options you can use on the right hand side of the page under Set Allowances using the Set Option drop down first to select.

• Prep. with Prev. Year - This will copy the Opening Balance (this does not include any Carryover) and apply it to this year's Opening and Remaining Balances
• Prep. with value -  This will allow you to set a whole value to each staff member, e.g. everyone in Sales Dept. receives 25 Days. 

Once you've specified your selection(s) you can click on Set Option and then click on Save Changes. 

You may after or instead of, manually change any values as you wish by typing directly into the staff member's balance fields. When setting up a new balance it is important to enter the same Opening and Remaining value.

You can also use this page to increase users' balances, for example if you wanted to add 1 day to each staff member's allowance you could increase the Opening and Remaining balance by 1. Make sure to take into account any leave the user has already booked, so if their allowance is currently 20 Opening, 12 Remaining you would increase this to 21 Opening, 13 Remaining.
