    • The supported headers are Email, PolicyName, Balance, and BalanceDate.
    • All the titles should be placed in the top row of the excel file.
    • Email: It should be the email of the users for whom the balance needs to be updated/uploaded.
    • PolicyName: It should be the name of the PTO/leave policy. Make sure that the policy name is exactly the same as the name defined for Leave Policy in the system.
    • Balance: It defines the PTO balance that you want to provide to the user and the balance should be in numeric value only.
    • BalanceDate: It specifies the date to which the PTO balance is uploaded and will be the user’s current available leave balance. The balance date column should be of date type.
