Reason Menu

Reason menus create a list of absence/vacancy reasons for specific location and classification groups so users can view, hear, or enter reasons that apply only to their selected location and classification. Reason menus can be used in the following instances:

• The system is used by multiple districts and each district has a different set of reason codes.
• Teachers enter a different list of reasons than secretaries.
• Different reason codes have been created for teachers and secretaries that use the same reason description because the reason codes are using a different default budget code.

For this feature to be active, enable the Use Reason Menus option on the Parameters – General.

If a group does not have a reason menu assigned, their pull-downs and voicings will be blank.
