Holiday Dates

Holiday dates define the dates in the year where your organisation do not operate. You would for example add the half term breaks and summer holidays in a school/college setting.

Configuring Holiday Dates

To add Holiday Dates go to Standard Values under Administration. Then in the Time Management Values panel choose Holiday Dates.

Click Add Holiday Set to begin adding Holiday Dates.

Give the Holiday Set a suitable Name, for example you may want to call it a name relating to the year.

To make this the default set offered click the Default Set checkbox.

You then have the choice to add a single date of a range of dates.

To add a single date click Add Date. Choose a date from the date picker and click Save Date.

To add a range of dates, for example a half term week, click Add Dates in Range. Enter the From and To dates and click Save Dates.

Finally click Save Name to save the Holiday set.

Using the Holiday Set

The Holiday Set is added to a Student record under the Daily tab, to set the dates that the student is not in the school/college.

The Holiday Set is also used as a configuration item for Day attendance reports in order to denote which days are not to be included in Day Attendance calculations.
