Usage Notes

Impact on Resource Forecasts

Changes to Holiday records automatically update Resource Forecasts for all affected resources:

  • Adding a holiday: Creates forecast records for all resources with active Holiday Schedule Assignments that include the holiday date in their date range.
  • Deleting a holiday: Removes forecast records for that holiday from all affected resources.
  • Updating a holiday: Updates existing forecast records (e.g., if hours change from 8 to 4).

These updates occur automatically. No manual intervention is required.

Date Format

Holidays are timezone-agnostic – the date is stored as a calendar date without time component

Master-Detail Relationship

Holidays are automatically deleted if their parent Holiday Schedule is deleted.
