3. Choose the New button to insert a blank leave row in the table.
4. Use the Name cell to enter a descriptive name for the leave type and then move to the Description cell and enter a brief description for the leave.
   Example: In Fig. 02 below, we have created an leave type entitled "Vacation". This leave type can be applied to all employees who take time off for their holidays.

5. Move to the Details cell and click on the Enter hyperlink. This opens a window that allows you to enter detailed information about the leave.
6. Enter the leave type's details as needed. You can use the formatting bar to change the font size, color, etc. You can also paste content into the window from another program or document (e.g. word processor, spreadsheet, web page).
   Example: In Fig. 03 below, we have entered a basic "template" form that can be filled in each time an employee requests a work leave.

7. When the leave details are complete, choose the Save button to close the pop-up window. This returns you to the main screen where the cell's original hyperlink has been replaced with the word "Edit" to indicate that you can perform further changes to the details when needed.
8. Select the Documents button to open a window where you can attach documents and files that pertain to the current leave type. This can include PDFs, word processing documents, spreadsheets and images.

9. When the Documents window appears, select the "+" (plus sign) icon to display the Open dialog box, and then use this window to navigate to the location of the document(s) that you wish to add.
   Example: In our example below, we see several documents that relate to our leave type.
   

   Fig. 05: Choose one or more documents to be added to this leave type.
10. Select one or more documents as needed, and then choose the Open button. This adds the selected document(s) to the eNETEmployer Documents window.
    
    

    Fig. 06: We have chosen three supporting documents for this leave type.
11. Select the Close button to exit the Documents window.
12. Choose the Save icon (the Check Mark icon at the left side of the row) to accept your changes. This action saves the changes for the row and takes you out of Edit Mode.
13. Repeat the preceding steps to enter additional leave types to support your company's HR needs.
    Example: In Fig. 07 below, we have created a total of five leave types that can be assigned to our employees as needed.
