How to build and manage holiday lists in Atom HR.

Effective operations need great holiday management, particularly if you have various teams or offices with varying holiday schedules. Atom HR allows you to easily create and maintain multiple holiday lists according to your company's requirements. In this blog, we'll take you step by step through creating and editing holiday lists in Atom HR by gofloww.

Step 1: Access the Holiday List Configuration

Once you log in to Atom HR, navigate to the Holiday List Configuration section. Here, you will see a default holiday list that is already set up for your convenience. This default list contains holidays that can be modified but not entirely deleted. You can edit the list’s name and add or remove individual holidays, but the list itself cannot be removed.

Step 2: Edit the Default Holiday List

To make changes to the default list:

• Change the Holiday List Name: Click on the name of the default holiday list, and you will have the option to rename it according to your preferences, such as "Default Holiday List for Pune Office."

• Add or Delete Holidays: You can also add or remove holidays from this default list. Simply click on Add Holiday to enter a new holiday or click the delete icon next to an existing holiday to remove it from the list.

However, note that while individual holidays can be edited or deleted, the default list itself cannot be removed from the system.

Step 3: Create a New Holiday List

If you need to create a new holiday list for a specific team or office location, Atom HR makes it easy. Follow these steps:

• Click on the Add List button (CTA) to start creating a new holiday list.

• Enter the name for the new holiday list. For example, if you’re setting up a holiday list for your "Bangalore Office," name it accordingly.
• After entering the name, click on Add to create the list. Your new holiday list will now appear alongside the default list.

Step 4: Add Holidays to Your List

Once the new holiday list is created, you can start adding holidays specific to that location or team. Here’s how:

• Select the holiday list you’ve just created from the dropdown menu.
• Click on Add Holiday to start entering holiday details.

For each holiday, you'll need to:

• Enter the Holiday Name: For example, "Diwali" or "Christmas."
• Select the Date: Choose the exact date for the holiday from the calendar picker.

After entering the details, click Submit to save the holiday. The holiday will now appear in the list of holidays under the selected holiday list.

Step 5: Manage Holidays in the List

Atom HR gives you flexibility to manage holidays even after they’ve been added to a list. You can:

• Delete Holidays: If you no longer need a specific holiday in the list, simply click on the delete icon next to the holiday name to remove it.
• Delete the Entire List: In addition to managing individual holidays, you can also delete an entire holiday list. To do so, select the list and click the Delete button. This will remove the entire holiday list and all associated holidays from the system.

Step 6: Save Changes

Once you’ve made changes to a holiday list—whether adding or deleting holidays or renaming a list—make sure to save your changes. This ensures that your updated holiday list is applied across your teams and office locations.
