This functionality allows Systems Administrators to configure categories of attachments in a drop down list. As such, when the employee uploads their attachment in the absence request, they can select the category from the dropdown list. This helps with the organising of attachments. In addition, this feature can be used to prevent managers (and shared approvers) from being able to see any attachments in that category. For example, if the category is called “Medical Certificates” and the System Administrator configures it so that it is “Confidential”, the doctor’s certificate will not be visible to the manager (or shared approver) when the employee uploads it and submits their request for approval.
