Each Leave Type is assigned a standard symbol or icon in ESS. The same symbol is used for all Leave Reasons that are associated with the Leave Type. Whilst there is no option to change the symbol, you can change the colour. This can help differentiate multiple User Defined Leave classes. For more information on changing colours, refer to the article Set colours for Leave Types.
The symbols are:
Symbol | Leave Type |
Tropical drink | Annual Leave |
Suitcase | Long Service Leave |
Stethoscope | Personal Leave (Sick Leave) |
Coffee Cup | Other Leave |
Airplane | User Defined Leave - each User Defined Leave class will show separately |
