Modify a Holiday Set

Calendars are an important aspect of workforce planning as regional availability is taken into account when determining which users to include in the result set. Typically, an organization defines the days to be considered holidays.

Once they have been defined, holiday sets are assigned to users. Users’ holidays are location-dependent. Whichever holidays apply to the location where the user is stationed also apply to the user.

If there is a holiday on a particular day, that day is set to a non-working day and appears in yellow in the calendar. The availability of the user associated to that calendar is set to zero in the work plans.
