Overview:
edays allows for public holiday dates to be assigned and managed using Public Holiday Groups. A Public Holiday Group can then be assigned to a user's calendar. Public Holiday Groups are commonly used to separate public holidays by country or by whether the public holidays affect an entitlement.
This guide provides steps for importing public holiday dates to an existing public holiday group using a third party import feed. If you would prefer to import public holiday using a CSV file please click here to see our guide.
Please note: To use the Public Holiday Import Tool you must have a Country/Region selected in the Public Holiday Group settings.
