Create and Manage Holiday Calendars

Holiday calendars are used to determine when training centers, instructors and class resources are unavailable due to holidays or other reasons.  You can configure multiple holiday calendars, each with their own set of unavailable dates and linked training centers.  For example, if your organization runs classroom training sessions in multiple countries, you may wish to configure a holiday calendar for each country.

Holidays are shown on the Resource Planner and Schedule tabs for facilities and class resources. You can still create an event on a holiday date but it causes a resource conflict, which is displayed on the calendar. 

To configure holiday calendars, your user role must have unrestricted access to the Class Resource Manager feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Catalog Manager Features).
