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.
