This feature allows users to define how far into the future employees are able to request certain overtime volunteering opportunities.

Note: Rule changes and new rules will not be applied to employees currently 
logged into Indeavor. In order for the rule to take affect, the employee must
log out of Indeavor and log back in.

Publish a Day as Volunteering Opportunity.

7. Set the Window Type using the provided fields.

Note: 

Opening:This type of window defines when employees can perform a certain 
action for a defined period type (based on evaluation context). All other 
periods are considered to be closed and not available to perform the action.

Closing:This type of window defines when employees cannot perform a 
certain action for a defined period type (based on evaluation context). All 
other periods are considered to be opened and available to perform the action.

8. From the Evaluation Context drop-down menu  select the desired value based on which the cut off rules will be evaluated.

Note: Evaluation Context defines what you will be allowed to select within the 
Start of Window or End of Window.

On day: Enables a daily request overtime window.
On week: Enables a weekly request overtime window.
On weekend: Enables a weekend request overtime window.

9. To set values other than the pre-selected options, check Set the start window or Set the end of window to select from more options.

Note:

Without a Cut Off Rule, the Volunteering Opportunities will appear on every day
of the employee's calendar. The user can create a Cut Off Rule and edit both 
Start of Window and End of Window. It means the user can change the date in 
between the beginning of the End of Window to the date before the Start of Window
(the End of Window should be set less than the Start of Window). 

Example:



The Start of Window defines when we start removing volunteering opportunities 
from the schedule. If, for example, the start of window is 5 days before, and a 
volunteering opportunity is more than 5 days in the future, it is cut off (Date 
of the Opportunity - Today's Date) > 5. If it is less than 5 days in the future 
it appears (Date of the Opportunity - Today's Date) ≤ 5.

The End of Window defines when we stop removing volunteering opportunities from 
the schedule. If, for example, the end of window is 3 days before, and a 
volunteering opportunity is less or exactly than 3 days in the future, it is 
cut off (Date of the Opportunity - Today's Date) ≤ 3. If it is more than 3 days 
in the future it appears (Date of the Opportunity - Today's Date) > 3.

Suppose, today is 5th of the month. The employees can request an OT volunteering 
opportunity that is more than 3 days in the future (end of window) but less than 
5 days in the future (start of window).

The employees therefore can request OT in 9th and 10th of that month. 
Volunteering opportunities more than three days in the future appear. 
Volunteering opportunities less than or equal to three days in the future are 
cut off.

10. Press the Save button.
11. You can then access the Configuration through the ESS Cut Off Rules drop-down menu   by selecting the desired Profile.
