Setting Up a Mandatory Event

The Budget Creation module counts additional workload data only for events that are specified as mandatory in LFSO. The Apply To Shift? field on the Schedule an Event page in LFSO determines whether employees must attend an event even if they are not scheduled to work when the event occurs. The Budget Creation module requires this data to know whether the workload data from the scheduled shifts already includes these hours, or whether it should track these hours separately. The following options are available:
