Introduction - Leave Balance
Everybody's entitlement in one grid, a column per leave type and a row per person.
Leave Balance is the administrator's view of what the whole depot has left. It turns the per-type list an employee sees into a grid: one row per person, one column per leave type, and a total at the end.
It is a different shape from the Self Service version
The employee's own screen lists leave types down the page with four figures each. This one puts people down the page and types across it, because the question an administrator asks is about coverage rather than about one entitlement.

The column codes
The grid uses the short code from each leave policy rather than its full name, because seven full names would not fit across a page.
