Holidays

You can define the holidays excluded when the Exclude weekends and holidays option is selected. The holidays are pulled from the centralized list of holidays on the Holidays page. You can create a holiday from two locations: on the Holidays page and directly in the Work Schedule editor when adding a new holiday to the work schedule.

Centralized List of Holidays

The centralized list (in the image below) lets you browse and manage shared holidays. The columns in the list help you quickly scan through what is observed, as well as the previous and next holiday occurrences. Any holidays that are not observed are skipped in the work schedule. You can add any of the holidays in the centralized list to your work schedules.
