Who this guide is for: System administrators – Requires 'System Admin' role and Global Rota Setup permission
Overview:
This guide explains how to add new dates—such as company shutdowns or fixed non-working days—to an existing Custom Days group.
How Custom Days Work:
Custom Days are fixed dates added to calendars to reflect non-working periods like holidays or office closures. They can optionally deduct from entitlement and are grouped together for easy assignment at the Global,
Template, or User level. Adding dates to an existing group helps keep your calendar consistent and up to date.
How to Set Up Custom Days:
- Go to Admin tools > Admin panel > Calendar Elements > Custom Days.
- Find the Custom Days Group you want to update and click the Days button on its row.
- Click the +Add New button at the top of the screen.
- Enter the Date, an optional Name, and the Duration (e.g. full day or half day).
- Click Save or Save and add another to continue adding dates.
Additional Information:
