Admins can now define holidays directly in Vault using the Holiday Schedule and the Holiday objects. You can think of Holiday Schedule records as countries or regions and Holiday records as the individual dates for the holidays within a certain country. For example, you might define one Holiday Schedule record as Uniteds States, and then create children Holiday records for each holiday for all the relevant years., In this scenarioeg, you would create a separate record for each year you would like to count President's Day as a holiday. Holiday Schedule records can may then be associated with user records, and may be used in expressions through Vault with the NetWorkdays() and Workday() functions. These functions allow you to calculate the difference between two dates factoring out weekends and holidays, and return a date that is N business days in the future.
To help Admins get started, we have created this VPK containing sample Holiday Schedule and Holiday records. Included in the package are 63 countries and their associated holidays from 1950 through 2049. Below, you can see a list of all of the countries and regions included.
