How do I set up a Company Holiday Event in the Calendar?

Enter an event on the Company Public Calendar. Flag it as an All Day Event and check the Block Out option. This will prevent tasks from being scheduled on that date.

See the Add new Company Holiday event guide for more info.

How do I set up a Personal Day Off?

This will depend on if you want this visible on the Public Calendar or not:

Visible: Create a new event, select the Public Vacation Calendar designated for PTO. Mark it as an All Day Event and check off Block Out. After selecting the Company Calendar, a new section will appear on the right side for you to select My Calendar.

Not Visible: Create a new event, select your Personal Calendar. Mark it as an All Day Event and Block Out.

See the Add new Out Of Office event guide for more info.

Inactive Users and Public Meetings

When an Employee is made inactive, any meetings that the user was the Organizer of will disappear from all calendars. This has an affect Company Holidays which also affect project scheduling. You will want to do one of the following to resolve:

• Use the Employee Offboarding feature to change the organizer of all meetings of that user.
