Set minimum notice for leave or availability requests by access level

Follow this guide to set a minimum number of days’ notice for leave or availability requests in Humanforce WFM (Web). This controls how far in advance employees must submit requests, based on their access level.

Changing this setting affects when employees are allowed to submit new leave or availability requests.
Requests that fall inside the minimum notice period will be blocked.

Steps

1. Go to Admin > Security Config > Access Levels.
2. Select Edit next to the access level you want to update.
3. On the General tab, locate Availability change min. days notice.
4. Enter the number of days’ notice required.
   • For example, entering 28 means requests must be submitted at least 28 days in advance.
   • Enter 0 to disable the restriction.
5. Select Save to apply the change.

Employees assigned to this access level can only submit leave or availability requests that meet the minimum notice period you configured.
