Holiday/Closing Calendar to Automatically Add Exclusions for Each Event

[inhouse]

Hello, is there a way to add a “Holiday/Closing Calendar” which would automatically add exclusions to all events so they don’t occur on these dates? My Calendar Pro has these feature which we’ve used in the past. You add an event to the holiday/closing category and this automatically cancels any event that occurs on this date. Currently the only thing I know to do is edit each event to add exclusions which is very time consuming.

From “My Calendar Pro”:

You can assign one category as your ‘Holiday’ category, to enable other events to be automatically canceled when they collide with an event in that category.

Cancel on Holidays: If you’re in a situation where regularly scheduled events are routinely canceled for holidays (such as a monthly business meeting that will be canceled if the business is closed for holidays), this could be useful. It allows you to assign a My Calendar event category as your ‘Holiday’ category. Once you’ve assigned a Holiday category, you can check a box in your Event Manager which will indicate that the event will be canceled if it coincides with any event listed in the Holiday category. Assign which category is used for Holidays by editing that category under ‘Manage Categories’.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I will try to help with your question.

Unfortunately, our calendar does not have that functionality. Within a given event, you can set up exclusions within the event series. However, there’s not a way to target multiple distinct events. You would need to edit each event series parent.

Hope that helps! Sorry I didn’t have better news for you on that.

Thanks,
Sky

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
