Managing Holidays
Ansarada GRC will consider Holidays when processing Due Dates and Reminder Dates for Tasks.
If a task falls on a Holiday (or a weekend day), Ansarada GRC will move the date forward to the previous working day.
Holidays can be marked as Perennial. A Perennial Holiday is one that occurs on the same date each year. The Monitor will automatically roll over Perennial Holidays. Non-perennial Holidays are those that occur on a different date each year (e.g. a holiday marking an annual event but not tied to a set calendar date).
How many holidays do you need to setup?
For Perennial Holidays, you only need to setup the next occurrence of the Holiday.
For non-perennial Holidays, you need to have sufficient set-up based on the maximum cycle for any Task. For example, if your maximum cycle is 12 months then we suggest that you set up at least 2 years of Holidays.
Tip: Create a Process Control Task to ensure that Holidays are reviewed every 12 months.
