Holiday Groups

Holiday Groups

Bundle holidays into holiday groups and apply them to various sites or technician groups. You can create holidays in each holiday group and also import holidays across holiday groups.
Holiday groups are used to calculate request completion time, SLA, or timespent by technicians as applicable to requests. You can also ensure that critical automations are not executed during holidays.
