Four budget options apply to your whole workspace and are set by HowNow. They aren't in Settings, so to change one, contact your HowNow customer success manager or HowNow support.
Learning budgets, hiding budget amounts, hiding balances and forwarding budget emails are set by HowNow, not in Settings; ask your HowNow contact to change them.
Options
Option | When it's on | When it's off |
Learning budgets | Manage › Budgets is available to Admins and Managers, people can use Request learning, and learning requests reach owners' Inbox. | There's no Budgets under Manage, no Request learning and no budget requests in the Inbox. |
Hide budget amounts | Budgets are shown to learners by name only, without the amount, and members aren't notified when the Amount per Member changes. | Budgets show as name and amount, for example "Store Training Fund (GBP 500.00)". |
Hide budget balance | Learners don't see how much they have spent or have left. | Learners see their remaining balance for the current cycle. |
Forward budget emails | Add Budget and Edit Budget show a Forwarding Address field, so approval emails can also go to, for example, your finance team. | The Forwarding Address field isn't shown. |
Good to know
These options affect every budget in the workspace. You can't switch them on for one budget only.
Everything else about a budget, such as its amount, recurrence, groups and owners, is set by Admins and owners in Manage › Budgets.
