Creating a Holiday 

Prerequisite:

Ensure that business hours are created in advance, as each holiday must be associated with a business hour during configuration.
Refer to Configuring Business Hours and Shifts document for more details before proceeding with Holidays.

To create a holiday,

1. Access the End Application.
   
2. Click on the Setup icon to display the setup options page.
   
3. Click General, and Application Settings in the left pane. 

Note: Holiday Groups are used to organize multiple holidays into logical sets based on specific criteria such as region, location, or operational requirements. Each group contains a collection of holidays that can be applied consistently across devices, business hours, widgets, and reports. This allows flexible configuration where different sites or operations follow different holiday schedules.

IIoT Example:

In an industrial IoT setup with multiple factory locations, separate Holiday Groups can be created for each region—for example, India Plant Holidays and US Plant Holidays. The India group would include local holidays like Diwali and Labor Day, while the US group would include Thanksgiving and Independence Day. These groups can then be assigned to respective factory operations, ensuring accurate data analysis and visualization based on region-specific holidays.

7. Click Save.

1. If a day is a holiday for all the models but has different groups, the holiday marker is displayed.
   
2. If all the models contain the same category (Even in different holiday groups), then highlight is displayed
   
3. If all the Instances have holidays from the different category, then a marker is displayed.
   
4. If all the models contain multiple category, then a marker can be shown. If the color is a single color in this case it can be highlighted.
   

1. Access the End Application.
   
2. Click Locations.
   
3. Click Actions > Configure Operating time.
   

If Clone from Location is selected, the holiday set for the Location will be assigned to the device/asset.With Customize, you will be able to select any holiday group from the available list.

If "All the location under the Hierarchy" is selected the holiday will be applied to all the locations under the selected location. With "The selected Location", the holiday will be applied to that particular location only.

1. Access the End Application.
   
2. In the dashboard view, click Actions > Add Widget to invoke the New Widget addition screen.
   
3. Click on Charts in the Select Widget Type section.
   
   
   
   
4. Click Create.
   

The chart for the week will be displayed with the calendar icon, depicting the holiday that was present last week.

1. In Advanced Options, users can enable the “Highlight Holiday” option to mark holidays in the view.
   
2. Users can choose a single color, where all holidays are highlighted using the selected color.
   
3. Holidays are not highlighted for short-range views such as Last 1 hour, Last 24 hours, Today, Yesterday, and Yearly (day-wise grouping).
   
4. When data is grouped daily, dates that fall on holidays are highlighted; on hover, a tooltip displays the date, holiday name, and holiday group name.
   
5. In model-specific scenarios, where different models have different holidays (e.g., one model has a holiday on Oct 2 while another does not or has a different holiday), the date is not directly highlighted. Instead, it is indicated with a marker (such as a calendar icon), and the tooltip shows that the date contains a holiday.
