Local public holidays can be quickly added to the schedule from the Holiday portion of the Work time menu
On the "Work time" tab of the project phase, there is a section called "Holidays" where country-specific holidays can be automatically accounted for in the schedules.
By clicking on the "Manage public holidays" option, users can automatically integrate public holidays into the schedule.
- Users can select the applicable holiday calendar from the "Holiday Calendar" dropdown menu and
- specify the duration for which holidays will be included in the "Time span covered" section.
- Under the "Show holidays as" option, users can choose whether to hide holidays from the schedule (similar to schedule exceptions) or highlight them (similar to timeline notes).
In practical terms, selecting the "hide" option means that the imported public holiday days will be removed from view, and no tasks can be scheduled for that day. Conversely, choosing the "highlight" option will color the holiday in a distinctive shade and display its name in the calendar view.
