Remembering Holidays

Each of us honors and celebrates State Holidays and Religious Festivals in our own special way. Express Scheduler has a dedicated Holidays View, listing holidays in chronological order for 2 years in future. Personalize Holiday View by selecting types of holidays you traditionally honor through configuration settings. By using voice navigation command, e.g. 'show holidays', you can navigate to Holidays View from Main View. An important premium feature of the application is the ability to use 'exclude holidays' in scheduling statements.

We love Holidays! Let us not forget about these important days by adding them selectively to our schedules. In order to add a Holiday day to a schedule just pick a holiday day from the list in Holidays View and confirm that you would like to add the day to your schedule.

Naturally we would like to ensure that we can exclude our holidays from repetitive activities, associated with work or studies, for example. The application supports this use case via scheduling statement syntax. When you are scheduling a complex, periodic activity you can use ‘except holidays’ or ‘except weekends’ phrase at the end, e.g., training every Monday and Friday at 7 except holidays.

Please, note that schedule for a complex event, containing ‘except’ statement, will reflect your current holidays preferences, current selection of State Holidays and Religious Festivals. Once scheduled, this event will not change later. Therefore, if your will change your holiday’s preferences it will not impact any already scheduled event.
