Creating a Holiday in ScheduleWorX64

You can create holidays within existing Holiday Lists in the ScheduleWorX64 Configurator provider tree explorer. With a holiday list selected, the Calendar control allows you to define holidays that occur once or are recurring.

Holidays can be for one day or half a day (morning or afternoon), or can take place during some other part of the day. ScheduleWorX64 Configurator in Workbench64 gives you granular control over the time that a holiday event occurs.

Note. After creating a holiday, you must apply the holiday to a schedule in order for users to see it through the Preview tab in ScheduleWorX64 schedule. For further information see Applying a Holiday List to a Schedule.
