Holidays help you manage the schedule when your business is closed. Create holidays,
then add the holidays to your operating hours. Scheduling and optimization processes can
take your holidays into account so that work isn't scheduled.

Watch the video to see how to add holidays to operating hours to reflect when
your business is open.
Before you start:
To use holiday operating hours, ensure that the Operating Hours Holidays related
list is on the operating hours page layout.
To account for holidays during schedule optimization, Enhanced Scheduling and
Optimization must be enabled in Field Service Settings. Otherwise, holidays are
marked on the calendar but don’t impact scheduling. Make sure Enhanced
Scheduling and Optimization is enabled for each service territory.
When scheduling recurring holidays, only the first holiday shows on the Gantt.
Scheduling and optimization only accounts for the first date in the recurring holiday
definition. Subsequent holidays show on the Gantt after the first holiday passes.
