How do I create custom events?

In iFlow, you can create two types of events:

  • Time interval event
  • Date interval event

How do I create a time interval event?

  • Access “Settings” from the main menu
  • Click on “Event types
  • Click on “Add new event type
  • Select the “Time interval” at the “Event type” section
  • Write the name 
  • Write a description (optional)
  • Select a color (click on the black square and select)
  • Check the “Needs request reason” box (if you wish to see a reason why the employees are adding this event)
  • Check the “Needs approval” box (if you wish to approve/reject this type of event)
  • Check the “Appears in the timesheet report“ box
  •  Fill in the symbol of the event
  • Check the “Exclude from Totals in the timesheet report” box (if you wish to exclude the hours of this event from the timesheet report)
  • Choose a document that will generate automatically for this type of event
  • Click on “Add

Note! The hours registered on this event will appear in the Timesheet in the “from which” column and will not be calculated in the “Total”.

How do I create a date interval event?

  • Access “Settings” from the main menu
  • Click on “Event types
  • Click on “Add new event type

  • Check the “Appears in the timesheet report” box (if you want it to appear)
  • Select a “Timesheet report symbol” (if you checked the Appears in the timesheet report box)
  • Check the “Exclude from Totals in the timesheet report” box (if you want it to not be calculated in the Timesheet report, this is good for Paid leaves)

***This feature is optional for all types of events.
