CONFIGURING


Creating Holiday documents
Holiday documents provide a way for your organization to have a centrally managed collection of documents that contain information on scheduled holidays and events. Users select the type of Holiday documents to import and add the information to their personal calendars.

About this task

IBM® Domino® includes default Holiday documents that you can modify or delete; you can also add Holiday documents specific to your organization's needs. Holiday documents are stored in the Domino Directory.

You categorize Holiday documents according to a group name. For example, you may have a group named "Full-time" that contains all the company holidays for full-time employees. The default Holiday documents included with Domino have group names associated with countries or religions -- for example, United States or Italy -- and the groups contain documents specific to holidays in each country. As an administrator, you may want to modify or delete these documents to reflect your organization's needs. Then you can advise all users to import a specific group of Holiday documents.

To add a document to an existing group, select the group when you create a new Holiday document. To create new groups, enter a new group name in the Holiday document. Remember that your users import Holiday documents according to group name, not document name, so be sure to plan the organization of documents in groups.
