FAQ: Adding a User to a Published Budget

Once a budget is published, you can add a user to the budget and allocate reserve points. This allows the Recognition Administrator to add new employees to a budget so they can start participating in the company's recognition programs without having to wait for a new budget to be published.  

To add a user to a published budget and allocate points to them, follow the steps below.
