USAF LeaveWeb Mobile

About this app

LeaveWeb Mobile will provide USAF with a user-friendly way to submit and review active duty Air and Space Force military leave requests utilizing Okta Authentication. Okta for USAF is a purpose-built Identity platform for the DoD and its mission partners. Okta’s achievement of an Impact Level 4 (IL4) conditional Provisional Authorization (PA) provides a next-generation security architecture that centralizes and secures access to mission-relevant resources for approved users – anywhere, anytime.

The LeaveWeb Mobile App provides the following features:

The leave member can submit leave for themselves, but there is no ability to submit leave on behalf of another in mobile.

Leave submittal through return on leave types A, R&R, D, F, P, and T with upload ability. Approve Leave Inboxes and Authorize Leave Inboxes will be included.
Note: All attachments included will have to be viewed and downloaded
from the website, including the AF988s.

Simple profile information will be included along with ALL Open Leaves and 2 years of Leave History (2 years past from current date) with the ability to Copy Request.
Note: Leave can only be submitted 2 years in the past and 2 years in
advance from current date in mobile. If there is a need to submit leaves
outside this window, they will need to be submitted in the website.

Inactivated leave types E and H can continue through approvals on mobile but are not submittable since they have been inactivated.
T type leave and Rule 51 can continue through the approvals on mobile but cannot be created in mobile due to one-time allowance in a member’s career and up to 14 days. This checking control is only maintained in the website.
R type leave can continue through the approvals on mobile but cannot be created in mobile since there is no ability to submit leave on behalf of another.
Types B, M and Y will be trackable but no ability to work them in mobile as these types are managed by AFFSC/Base FM.
Copy Request and Edit Request will not be available for these leave types (E, H, R, B, M, Y and T/Rule51) in mobile.

Any actions taken in mobile will have (-mobile) appended on the action and able to track within the website.

There is no reporting, Leave Audits or administrative pieces in mobile.

Ratings and reviews

People were pretty quick to write off this app when it first released, and for good reason. It was glitchy, crashed often and overall, just didn't have a good user interface, and that's if it even let you log in at all. However, the app has redeemed itself. Okta is actually pretty good, and setting up the app isn't hard at all. I recommend this app to everyone because people just don't know about it or had abandoned it, due to the rocky start.

Improved since past versions. There is still an issue with Android (at least with mine, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra), that the in-app options (Inbox, My Leaves, and Profile) are placed right where the phone Navigation bar is placed, so it makes it very difficult to access them.

Makes my life a lot easier when submitting leave. I don't have to go to the computer to sign in with my ID card. Just follow the setup steps from the website to enable the OKTA verification so that you can sign in and that's all it takes.

What’s new
