An allowance gives each member a yearly number of days of approved leave. Approved notices use days up, and reviewers see what is left when they decide.
Switch it on
Open Settings > Features and turn on the Allowance feature, then open its settings:
Days per year: the number of days each member gets. It can be 0 to 365. The default is 28.
Year starts in: the month the allowance year begins. The default is January. The year runs from the 1st of that month.
How days are counted
Every calendar day covered by an approved notice counts, and a day counts once even if two notices overlap.
A notice with no end date counts up to today.
Only the part of a notice inside the current allowance year counts toward that year.
Denied, pending and revoked notices do not use days.
Where people see it
Members see their own balance (remaining, or "over your allowance"). It shows nothing if allowances are off.
Reviewers see a chip showing the requester's remaining days when reviewing a notice.
In Discord, /allowance shows days used and left.
It does not block anything
Rosterr only shows the balance. Going over the allowance does not stop a request being made or approved: it is information for the reviewer.
