Evo Navigator is the home screen you see when you log in to Access Evo. Quick Actions are shortcuts on Evo Navigator that each open a short form for a common task, so you don't need to open another part of the system.
You can use the Pending Leave Requests quick action to see every leave request from your team that's waiting for a decision. You can check each employee's holiday and time off in lieu (TOIL) balance, then approve or decline requests one at a time or several at once.
Only managers with permission to review leave requests can use Pending Leave Requests. Employees without this permission can't see it.
