		How do I add new items to a group? 
			
				
				
				
				
				From the drop-down list, select the 
				Group
				Name
				
				that you want to add the item to. If there are any items already 
				in the group, these are displayed on the left hand side of the 
				screen.
				
				
				Click 
				
				New.
				
				
				Enter a 
				
				Group Item Code 
				for the item (up to 15 characters). 
				
				
				 Note: 
				Each item within the group must have a unique code. 
				
				
				
				Enter a 
				
				Description 
				for the item (up to 50 characters).
				
				
				(Optional)  
				 
				You can enter 
				
				Valid From 
				and 
				
				Valid To
				
				dates for the item if required. If you have entered dates, the item will not be available for selection 
				outside of these dates. If you do not enter dates here, the item 
				is available.
				
				
				(Optional)  
				 
				
				You can add up to ten 
				
				Rates 
				for the item. These could be, for example, different rates of 
				pay relating to basic pay, overtime, double overtime, etc.
				
				
				(Optional)  
				 
				
				You can add up to five Email
				
				addresses applicable to the group item. These can be used for escalating leave 
				requests to the next level of management if a supervisor is on 
				leave. If the group refers to an employee of the organisation 
				(e.g. a supervisor or manager) you should enter their email 
				address in the 
				
				Email [1]
				field. This tells Optimum where to send requests if the 
				supervisor/manager is an authoriser for leave bookings, 
				timesheet adjustments, etc.
				
				
				Click 
				Save
				
				
				when the details are complete. You’ll get a 
				message confirming that the group item has been created.
