Lesson: 45 | Time-Off Request Flow

User Story

User Story

As a Salesforce user,
I want a Screen Flow to submit leave requests by selecting the leave type, providing start and end dates, and ensuring validation,
So that I can efficiently log and track my time off without errors or overlaps.

Acceptance Criteria:

Leave Type Selection:
- The flow should start with a screen to select the type of leave from the following options:
  - Vacation
  - Sick
  - Personal
Date Input Fields:
- Include fields to capture the Start Date and End Date of the leave.
- Ensure the input fields are user-friendly and properly labeled.
Validation Logic:
- Ensure that the End Date is not earlier than the Start Date.
- Validate that the requested leave does not overlap with any existing leave requests for the same user.
- Display an error message if validation fails, with clear guidance to the user.
Record Creation:
- Upon successful validation, save the leave request as a record in a custom object named Time_Off_Request__c.
- Map the following fields to the record:
  - Leave Type
  - Start Date
  - End Date
  - User ID (or related user information)
Confirmation Screen:
- Display a confirmation message after the request is saved, including a summary of the leave request details.
