Holiday Management is located under Configuration-->Holiday Schedules-->Manage Holidays (see figure 32.1). Schedules that may include different lists of holidays are created under Holiday Schedules. Individual holiday entries with a designated schedule(s) and hours details are created under Holiday Management. Holiday Schedules can then be assigned to users via Groups.

Figure 32.1. Holiday Management main page

To create a new holiday, click the Create button in the lower right corner of the screen. This will direct you to the Holiday Creation screen where you can specify the date, schedule, hours, name and other time entry details (see figure 32.2).



Figure 32.2. Holiday Creation

The Holiday Schedule field will determine which schedule(s) the new holiday will be added to. The Holiday Name field will populate the Comment (or renamed text) field on the users' Time Entry screens. Time Entry columns on this screen will respect Project Dependencies if any exist; however, there is no filtering of the selection lists for Group accessibility because any given holiday can be assigned to more than one Group. When finished selecting the new holiday details, click the Save button or the Save and New button if creating more than one holiday entry.

To delete a holiday, select the entry to delete from the search results and click the Delete button (see figure 32.1).

When assigned to a user's Group, holiday entries are loaded in the Time Entry screen when the user first views the period. While the entry is not in an approved state, it will continue to be reloaded if the user changes the hours or details of the entry. As a result, a user cannot remove a holiday entry assigned via Groups.

Holiday Schedules

Holiday Types is located under Configuration-->Holiday Schedules-->Manage Holiday Schedules (see figure 32.3). Holiday Schedules contain lists of holidays that can be assigned to Groups for automatic loading of holidays in users' Time Entry screens.
