Holiday Groups are used to organize multiple holidays into a single group, which can then be applied to Schedules. This allows the system to adjust access behavior automatically on specific dates such as holidays, closures, or special events.
Instead of modifying schedules for each individual holiday, Holiday Groups provide a centralized and reusable way to manage exceptions.
•Holiday Group
oA collection of one or more defined Holidays
•Holidays
oIndividual calendar dates (e.g., Christmas, New Year’s Day)
•Integration with Schedules
oHoliday Groups are applied within Schedules to override normal access times

1.Navigate to Access Control > Holiday Groups
2.Click “Create New”

oExample: “Company Holidays”
4.(Optional) Enter a Description
5.Open the Holidays tab
6.Click “Add”

9.Click Save
1.Go to Access Control > Holiday Groups

Holiday Groups are not used directly—they must be applied within a Schedule:

2.Edit or create a Schedule
3.In the Active Days & Times tab:
oClick “Add New Day/Holiday”
oSelect the Holiday Group instead of a day
oDefine the desired time range

•Keep naming clear and consistent
•Use Holiday Groups instead of editing schedules repeatedly
•Review annually to ensure all dates are current
•Combine with Schedules for flexible exception handling
•Holiday Groups do not function on their own
