What are LOA Settings?
LOA settings control how leave of absence requests work in your server. You can require certain details, set duration limits and customize the messages Melonly sends.
General Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Require Reason | Staff must give a reason when they submit an LOA |
| Require Denial Reason | Reviewers must give a reason when they deny an LOA or extension request. Approval reasons are always optional |
| Require End Date | Staff must give an end date for their LOA |
| Disallow Shifts on Leave of Absence | Staff can't start a shift while on an active LOA |
Click Copy Request Link to copy the link staff use to request an LOA.
Duration Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Submission Cooldown | Days staff must wait after an LOA is approved or denied before they can submit another |
| Minimum Leave of Absence Days | The fewest days an LOA can cover |
| Maximum Leave of Absence Days | The most days an LOA can cover |
Leave a field empty, or set it to 0, to remove that limit.
The On LOA role and LOA channel are set on the Discord Integration page.
Message Customization
LOA Submission Mention Role
Choose the roles Melonly mentions when someone requests an LOA. This needs a linked Discord server.

|---|---|
| LOA Submission DM | Staff submit an LOA request |
| LOA Cancelled DM | Staff cancel their LOA |
| LOA Approved DM | An LOA request is approved |
| LOA Denied DM | An LOA request is denied |
Each message supports variables.
