Holiday Lists OverviewHoliday Lists OverviewA Holiday List is a group of Holidays that you define. Holiday Lists let yougroup multiple Holidays together. (To see which holidays are included in aholiday list, run a Holiday report.)Holiday Lists behave differently depending on whether the system isoperating in Default Holidays mode or Distributed Holidays mode, set on theSystem Variables System tab. (For information and procedural steps, seeChapter 1 “Setting System Variables” in the C•CURE 800/8000 SystemMaintenance Guide.) See Table 11-1 on page 11-2 for an enumeration of thedifferences in behavior between the two modes.Table 11-1: Holiday Mode DifferencesHoliday Mode # of Holiday Lists Allowed How AssignedDefault Mode(Easier to use, but offers lessflexibility)Distributed Mode(Offers more flexibility, butrequires more work and greatercare to configure appropriately)24 system-wide8 to be designated for apCsUnlimited system-wideUnlimited per Time Spec (forhost use)24 per iSTAR8 per apCAutomatically to all Time Specs (for hostuse) and to all iSTARsIf you designate, automatically to all apCsManually, by choice, to individual TimeSpecs (for host use), iSTARs, and/or apCsDefault Holidays ModeThis is the C•CURE 800/8000 default for configuring Holidays, and underthis mode Holiday Lists operate as described in this section.C•CURE 800/8000 lets you configure up to 24 Holiday Lists system-wide.Each Holiday List you create is automatically assigned to all your TimeSpecifications for host use and downloaded to all your iSTAR controllers and,if you so designate, to all apC panels (with a limit of 8 holiday lists for theapCs).
