# Holiday Calendar

The Holiday Calendar lets you specify holidays in Infoveave and use them while scheduling a workflow or executing a Data Quality check. The Holiday Calendar allows you to select and add individual holidays or upload all holidays in a prescribed format as a CSV file or an Excel file.

## Creating a Holiday Calendar

3. Pick a **Date range** for your holidays.
4. Specify the days in the selected date range to be considered as holidays. This works well for setting weekends as holidays.
    * You may also pick a single day as a holiday.
    * When choosing a single day, use the **Time range** option to specify the start time and the end time of the holiday.
5. **Name** the holiday for easy identification.
6. Click **Save** to add the holiday to Infoveave.
7. To upload a list of holidays for the year, click **Upload**. Select your Holiday Calendar template file from the storage location.

## Using the Holiday Calendar

Whenever you use the [Cron trigger](/automation-v8/workflows/define-workflow/workflow-start/#cron-trigger) to schedule a workflow, you can check the box **Do not run on holidays** to skip the workflow execution on the holidays mentioned in the holiday calendar.

<Aside>
You can also use the holiday calendar for data quality to skip the data quality execution on the holidays mentioned in the holiday calendar. This works in the same way as it does for workflows.
