# Holidays
### Overview
MangoApps allows administrators to add holidays and important dates for different office locations, ensuring they are displayed on employees' calendars. A notification automatically appears under the bell icon a day before the scheduled company holiday or important date.
***
### Managing Holidays and Important Dates
#### Locations and Years
Use the **Locations** and **Year** drop-downs to filter holidays and important dates based on office locations.
Countries will appear in the drop-down menu only if they have holidays listed in the table already.
***
#### List of Holidays
The list displays all holidays and important dates added to your domain for all office locations.
{% hint style="warning" %}
A user’s office location determines the holidays displayed in their calendar.
{% endhint %}
**Holiday Details**
Each entry in the list includes:
* **Title**: The name of the company holiday/important event, used in notifications and calendar labels.
* **Type**: Two types are available:
* **Company Holiday**: Dates when the office is closed for business.
* **Important Date**: Significant events in a country that may not necessarily be office holidays.
* **Date**: The date of the company holiday/important event.
* **Description**: Additional details (up to 500 characters).
* **Location**: The specific office locations where the holiday applies.
***
### Adding a Company Holiday or Important Date
To add a holiday, click the **Add New Holiday** button located at the top right hand side of the screen.
This will bring up the **Add New Holiday** menu.
Within this menu:
* Select the **Type** (Company Holiday or Important Date).
* Enter a **Title** for the holiday. This Title will be displayed to applicable users on the configured date.
* Select the **Date**. Use the + Add End Date/Time option for multi-day holidays or specific time durations.
* Enter a **Description** (optional).
* Choose the **Country** or **Location** that observes this holiday (office locations where the holiday applies).
Click **Save**. The holiday or important date will now appear on the holiday list and to applicable users in the user portal.

### Using the Popular Holiday Finder
Alternatively to manually adding holidays, admins can use the Popular Holiday Finder menu to quickly find and add widely celebrated holidays for specific countries.
Click the **Popular Holiday Finder** button located next to the **Add New Holiday Button** at the top of the screen. This will bring up the **Popular Holiday Finder** menu.
Select a **Country** and **Year** to fetch the holiday list.
Toggle holidays on/off as needed. Admins can click **Enable All** to add all holidays for the selected country at once. To remove holidays from the company holiday list, use the **Delete** option in the three-dot action menu next to each holiday in the selected company holiday list.
Click **Save** to finalize the holidays in the company holiday list.
{% hint style="info" %}
The MangoApps Holiday Finder utilizes the *Holidays* gem/library to retrieve holiday information. This integration functions on an on-demand basis, fetching holiday data only when requested. For instance, when an admin searches for holidays in a specific country or region, the system dynamically retrieves the relevant information.

### Editing, Cloning, and Deleting Holidays
Click the **three dots** menu next to a holiday to access additional options for a selected holiday.
Select **Edit**, **Clone**, or **Delete** as needed to manage the holidays list.
