Applying a Holiday Group to a Schedule
Once you have programmed a holiday group or groups, these can be applied to your schedules.
 Navigate to Sites | Schedules
 Select the Holiday Groups tab and click Add
 Select the group or groups of holidays that you wish to apply to this schedule.
This tells the schedule which days are holidays, but it does not tell the schedule what to do if it is a holiday. For
that, you must configure a Holiday Mode.
Schedules and Holiday Mode
Each period in a schedule can be assigned a different Holiday Mode. The three modes to select from:
 Disabled on Holiday: When selected, the period will not make the schedule valid on a holiday. In other
words, if a door is programmed to unlock by this schedule, it will not unlock on a holiday if Disabled on
Holiday is selected. This is the default mode of operation for schedules.
 Enabled on Holiday: When selected, the period will only ever make the schedule valid on a holiday.
 Ignore Holiday: When selected, the period will make the schedule valid regardless of whether the day is a
holiday or not.
Default Operation
If you program times and days in to a schedule, but don't do anything else, then the schedule will always
operate.
For a holiday to stop a schedule from becoming valid, the following must have been programmed:
1. The holiday must be programmed in a holiday group
2. That holiday group must be applied to the schedule
3. The holiday mode must be programmed as Disabled on Holiday
