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 'Type' menu
You can also open an existing task and switch up the task type then.





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 colour of your choice
You can change the colour from general Settings > Coloring.

Schedule Public Holidays

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.
