Holidays in Drawbridge represent specific calendar dates that can be used to modify normal access behavior. These are typically used for non-working days, special events, or exceptions to standard schedules.
Holidays are not used directly in access control. Instead, they are:
1.Created as individual dates
2.Added to a Holiday Group
3.Applied within a Schedule
This layered approach allows for flexible and reusable time-based access control.
•Name
oThe name of the holiday
oExample: “Christmas Day”
•Description
oOptional details about the holiday
•Date
oThe specific calendar date the holiday occurs
Follow these steps to create a Holiday:
1.Navigate to Access Control > Holidays
2.Click “Create New”
3.Enter a Name
4.(Optional) Enter a Description
5.Select the Date
6.Click Save
1.Go to Access Control > Holidays
2.Select the Holiday from the list
3.Modify:
oName
oDescription
oDate
4.Click Save
Holidays must be added to a Holiday Group before they can affect system behavior:
1.Navigate to Access Control > Holiday Groups
2.Select or create a Holiday Group
3.Add the Holiday to the group
Then, apply the Holiday Group in a Schedule:
•Assign specific time rules for holidays (e.g., closed all day or limited hours)
Goal: Restrict access on Christmas Day
1.Create Holiday:
oName: Christmas Day
oDate: December 25
2.Add to Holiday Group:
oCompany Holidays
3.Apply in Schedule:
oSet Holiday Group to no access
Result: All access tied to that schedule will follow holiday restrictions automatically.
•Use clear and consistent naming (e.g., “New Year’s Day”)
•Create Holidays well in advance of their dates
•Group related holidays into Holiday Groups
•Review and update annually
•Avoid duplicate holiday entries
•Holidays alone do not change access behavior
•They must be:
oAdded to a Holiday Group
oApplied within a Schedule
•If not used in a Schedule, Holidays will have no effect
