Create a public holiday calendar or closure period calendar

This article explains how system administrators can add a new public holiday calendar or closure period calendar.

• Public holiday calendars for each Australian state should already be in your environment. If your organisation delivers regional services and observes regional public holidays, you can create additional public holiday calendars and add their public holiday days.
• If you have sites that are closed for specific periods (e.g. over school holidays or the Christmas/New Year break), you can create closure period calendars and add their closure days.

This article explains how to:

• create a holiday calendar record, and
• add holiday days.

Create a holiday calendar record

To create a holiday calendar record:

1. Click on the App Launcher nine dot icon and search for holiday calendars.
2. Select Holiday Calendars.
3. Click on the New button.
4. Enter a name for the calendar into the Holiday Calendar Name field.
5. In the Calendar Type field, select one of the following options:
   Public Holiday Calendar
   Closure Period Calendar

6. Click on the Save button.

Once you’ve added a holiday calendar, you’ll need to add each holiday day.
