Calendar, working hours and holidays

The working calendar

Every organization has a working calendar: the working days of the week (the weekend does not have to be Saturday–Sunday), the working hours, the country's public holidays (updated automatically; they cannot be removed) and the company closures an administrator adds.

You set it in Organization → General → Hours and holidays. Each person can have their own working hours in their account settings; the assistant uses them to suggest sensible times.

When it matters

  • When the assistant schedules work on its own (a plan from a description, a template), it places work only on working days.
  • A date you enter yourself is always respected, even on a Saturday or a public holiday: the calendar also holds personal commitments.
  • In forms, a period question can accept working days only (a leave request).
  • Timed automatic actions ("due in 2 days", "idle for 7 days") count calendar days.

The Calendar view

In Work, the Calendar view: dated work, milestones as bands, weekends and holidays highlighted. Drag to move; double-click to open.
