Introduction

You can say that Holiday and Public Holiday tasks are the best type of tasks in Ganttic since you can plan holidays with them. 

Must-know about this feature

Both 'Holiday' and 'Public holiday' tasks are full-day only and therefore not suitable for scheduling lunches or any other type short breaks.

Schedule a holiday

1. Schedule a task and select 'Holiday' from 'Task type' menu
You can also open an existing task and switch up the task type.



2. Give the task a title and click on 'Save' upon completion
Don't be startled, Holiday-type tasks look a bit different in the Gantt chart area.



3. The holiday task will appear faded in the color of your choice
You can change the color from general settings.

Schedule public holiday

1. Schedule a task and select 'Public holiday' from the task type drop-down menu
You can also open an existing task and switch up the task type.



2. Give the task a title and check the timing option
Click on 'Save' upon completion.
3. A public holiday will be added to your resources
You can edit and delete it like a normal task.

Public holiday type of tasks will apply to all of the resources automatically. If you need to add a holiday to just a few of your resources, use Holiday-type task and add it to multiple resources.
