Configuration of holidays and closing days
For holiday management click on Administration → Holidays:
The next screen lists the holidays that the system has by default, namely the Italian national holidays:
In case you need to add an additional holiday (such as a local holiday) or any school closure period, you can use the section below Add holidays:
Therefore, indicate:
- Date
- From: the first day of the closed period
- At: the last day of the closing period
- Holidays: the title of the closing period
- Same day and month every year: selecting the flag will allow you to indicate a calendar day that will be entered as a holiday automatically every year
- Location: in case the school has more than one location, it is possible to specify whether the holiday you add belongs to all of them or only to a specific one
Then click the + button to add the new holiday or closed period:
By entering a holiday that overlaps with already scheduled classes, these will be cancelled if they belong to lecture booklets or flexible courses, while they will be rescheduled at the tail end of the course in the case of regularly scheduled courses.Please note that the system takes into account all holidays and closed periods when planning courses, so it will not enter classes on such days.
In the event that a held a class on a public holiday, it will be possible to enter student attendance.
From the class schedule, click the icon "Enter Attendance" on the line of the lesson missed due to a holiday and enter the attendance.
By doing so, the system will consider that class actually taken rather than missed due to holidays.
