Create a public holiday calendar

This article explains how system administrators can add a new public holiday 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.

This article explains how to:

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

Create a public holiday calendar record

To create a public holiday calendar record:

1. Click on the App Launcher nine dot icon and search for public holiday calendars.
2. Select Public Holiday Calendars.
3. Click on the New button.
4. Enter a name for the calendar into the Public Holiday Calendar Name field.

5. Click on the Save button.

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