Configuring Holidays
Holidays are special days of a week. They are similar, but override standard weekdays. If a
day programmed as a Holiday occurs in the panel, the panel treats that day as the Holiday
type, regardless of the actual day of the week (Monday-Sunday).
During this Holiday, only Schedules that contain that specific Holiday type work. The
Holidays window enables you to further customize how the panel works. For example, you
can block access to a building on that day, or grant special access during that day.
In the Holidays configuration window, you can:
• Create a holiday
• Modify a holiday
• Delete a holiday
Click Configuration > Schedules & Holidays > Holidays to display the Holidays window:
Figure 2-14 Holidays Window
Creating a Holiday
1. Click in the Holidays window to add a new holiday.
2. Enter a new Holiday Name.
3. Click to enable/disable annual repetition.
4. Click the calendar icon, then select a day on the calendar.
5. Click to assign the new holiday to a Holiday Group. There are 3 holiday groups.
Assigning a holiday to a Holiday Group maps that holiday to a schedule configuration.
The holiday then follows the rules of that schedule. (See Configuring Schedules on
page 34).
6. Click Save. A message appears to confirm that the new holiday was saved.
