How to Add a Holiday to an Organization in SONITROL CORE 

Keep your organization’s calendar up to date for accurate scheduling and access management through SONITROL CORE. You can quickly add holidays to your organization’s calendar using existing types, such as national, state, or school holidays.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to add, edit, and manage holidays within your organization’s calendar.

Step 1: Verify you’re in the correct organization

Before adding a holiday, confirm that you're working within the appropriate organization. This ensures that any changes you make are applied to the correct calendar.  

Step 2: Navigate the calendar

To access your organization's calendar:

1. Open the Navigation Pane
2. Scroll down to Schedules
3. Select Calendars

This will take you to the calendar management area where holidays can be added and maintained.

Step 3: Confirm the correct calendar

Once in the Calendars section:

• Verify that the calendar displayed belongs to the correct organization
• Review the calendar before making any modifications

Taking a moment to confirm the correct calendar helps prevent scheduling errors.

Step 4: Add a holiday using an existing type

To add a holiday:

1. Click on the desired date
2. Review the available holiday types
3. Select the appropriate holiday type
4. Click Add

For example, to designate December 25 as a holiday, select National Holiday and click Add. The holiday will then appear on the calendar immediately.

Step 5: Add multiple holiday types to the same date

Some organizations may need to assign more than one holiday type to a date.

For example, if a school plans to close in addition to a national holiday:

1. Select School Holiday
2. Click Add Day

The date will now include both holiday designations, allowing for more detailed scheduling and reporting.

Step 6: Edit or remove a holiday

If a holiday needs to be updated or removed:

• Click on the holiday entry in the calendar
• Select Edit to make changes
• Select Remove Holiday (trash can icon) to delete it

Step 7: Add a holiday using the menu

SONITROL CORE also supports an alternative method for adding holidays:

• Click Holiday
• Select the desired date from the calendar
• Choose a holiday type
• Click Add

For example, you can select a future date and designate it as a state holiday using this method.
