Adding Attendees to an Expense
What is the Attendees feature?
The Attendees feature is designed to provide more information to the expense approver about who else might have been present when an expense was incurred. This is helpful when an approver wants to know who was present at an expensed event.
How do you enable this feature?
The administrator can enable or disable this feature by navigating to the Spend Policy page from the Admin sidebar.
Scroll to the Additional Options section at the bottom of the page. Enable the Attendees feature by switching the toggle On.
What does the process look like for users?
You can use the attendees feature while submitting expenses through the mobile app or while in your account on the Abacus website.
- Begin to create an expense by entering the amount, and any other required fields.
2. Click on the 'Add Detail' button at the bottom of the expense and select 'Attendees'.
3. Select a team member from the available list. You can search for someone specific by beginning to type their name or add a custom name. We’ll pull in people from your organization and your phone’s contacts. If you manually add someone new, we’ll store them for future use across your organization.
4. The selected attendees will be automatically included at the end of the description in the expense!
