Base Leave Types
Base Leave Types
LeaveWizard allows you create as many different leave types as you like. There are several different base leave types each of which provides slightly different behaviour within LeaveWizard. The following table summarizes each of the types to give you an idea of what base type you might want to choose for your own event types.
