Let's get you set up.

What's included in this guide:

Step 2: Set up your picklists and modules

Picklists put you in control of your account, giving a level of customisation for terms familiar within your business. This could be sickness types, departments or divisions.

You can access the picklists by heading to Configure > Settings > Picklists.

You can either delete or edit the existing options, or start adding your own.

There's no limit on the amount of options you can add - so you can keep customising.
