Pages
The Family leave template adds the Family leave page, where an employee can view their family leave history and request see ways to book leave. The page also shows the family leave Alerts, FAQs, Knowledge articles, Useful links, and links to other services, for example, if you install the other time off templates, you could link to those services such as Sickness, Annual leave, Volunteering or other leave. Each block uses filters to only show the relevant material for the page. Make sure you edit the bock and change the filters to what you need. You can edit the page layout, see our knowledge base article, About page layouts.

The page shows links to the Support page, which is installed by the Help and case management template.
