How to Enable or Disable Leave Request Expiration?

In Vacation Tracker, the Leave Request Expiration feature controls whether pending leave requests expire automatically if no action is taken, or remain open until the leave's end date.  

The Leave Request Expiration setting can be found under your Department Settings. Here is how to enable it or disable it”: 

Step 1: log in to Vacation Tracker using: app.vacationtracker.io/signin 

Step 2: Under “Team & Approval Flow”, navigate to Departments 

Step 3: Choose the Department you would like to update

You will find three dots at the right end of the selected department (...). Make sure to click those three dots to edit the Department.  

Step 4: Scroll down to “Leave Request Expiration” 

If set to Yes: 
Pending leave requests with future start dates will stay open until the leave end date. 

If set to No: 
Pending leave requests will automatically expire after 7 working days, or on the leave end date — whichever comes first. 

To enable expiration: Set to No. 
(Pending requests will expire after 7 working days or by the leave end date.) 

To disable expiration: Set to Yes. 
(Pending requests will remain open until the leave end date.) 

Step 5: Save changes by clicking on “Update Department”
