Manual Timetables - Holidays
When creating sessions, you can specify holiday dates that you do not want sessions created during. Depending on your level of access to aPlus+, you can create these date lists in three different places:
- System level via Settings Admin > Attendance > Settings > Holidays The dates you set here will apply to all Schools and Timetables that do not have alternative dates set at the School or Attendance Register levels.
- System level via Holidays Admin > Attendance > Holidays Allows named groups of holidays to be created, which can be chosen from when creating an attendance register.
- School level Admin > General > Schools > (School) > Holidays The dates you set here will apply to this specific School.
- Attendance register level Course > Attendance > Add sessions > Extra Holidays The dates you set here will apply to the sessions you are creating only.
Dates can be entered in several ways:
- Full date: 13 Mar 2013 This is the default format. Note: Month is three characters only.
- Repeat date: 13 Mar REPEAT REPEAT allows this date to be applied to any year (from this year forward).
- Partial date: 13 Mar This date will be applied to the year from today only but not the years beyond (if you are creating sessions on 30 Dec 2015, then this date will be in 2015).
- Date ranges: 1 Jul 2013 - 19 Jul 2013
Every date may be preceded by a label:
- Mid-year break = 1 Jul 2013 - 19 Jul 2013
Enter multiple dates as a comma separated list, or on separate line:
Easter Friday = 29 Mar 2013, Easter Monday = 1 Apr 2013
or
Easter Friday = 29 Mar 2013 Easter Monday = 1 Apr 2013
- Overlapping date:
