Entering Awards
When entering Award details, a caution icon displayed in the first grid column indicates that there is at least one issue with the details so far entered on that line, e.g. 'Award type not selected'.
Hover over the caution icon to read details in a tool-tip, as in the example below:
To complete a new Award line:
-
Either select New Line in the Awards toolbar, or use keyboard shortcut Alt+N.
One blank line is inserted into the Awards grid.
-
Select in the Start Date cell, and either enter or select the date of the first night of your time away.
Select the calendar icon in an active date cell to select a date from the drop-down calendar. Manually entered dates must be in the format supported by your environment's Globalization Settings. Incorrectly formatted dates will not be accepted.

If the Award Type you have chosen is not unit-based, then the No. of Days/Units Claimed is read-only, and that figure is calculated automatically, according to your specified Start and End Dates.
-
In the Type column, select the Type of Award that you are claiming.
The read-only Unit Based column indicates (Yes or No) whether or not the Award Type you have selected is unit-based.
- If the Award Type you have chosen is unit-based, enter the number of units you are claiming in the No. of Days/Units Claimed column.
-
In the Notes column, optionally, enter any explanatory comments that might inform the Award.
At this stage, the read-only Submitted column will indicate that No, this Award has not yet been submitted.
