How to add a new holiday
1. Start by clicking Clear to clear all fields for data entry.
2. In the Description field enter the name of the holiday.
3. Select the Date for the holiday.
4. If access on this holiday is to follow a schedule other than the normal schedule, select a
holiday type.
Holiday Types are normally used for different countries where the date is treated
differently. For example, some countries may have the Friday after the U.S. Thanksgiving
as a day off, and access will be very limited. Other countries may treat it as a normal
Friday to allow an overtime crew to work. Holiday types can also be used to allow a guard
to get in a door through one reader for that day, but not through the other doors.
Another example is to set Holiday Type 1 for hourly employees and Holiday Type 2 for
salaried employees. Type 1 could have a holiday defined to deny access for hourly
employees, but Type 2 would allow salaried employees access to work on that holiday.
5. After adding data to the fields click Save/Add.
