Holidays

If you have your holidays planned or simply you’re expecting to be out of office during a given time, you can define a holiday. During a holiday, you are skipped in the queue, and can’t be assigned to new issues. It’s to ensure an uninterrupted workflow of the rule that can still continue working.

In order to define a holiday, access the Assignment Rules view first.
