Add holidays in Hive

Exclude company and national holidays from your task and project scheduler

Written by Ellen Kajca

Add your holidays so everyone knows you won't be available on those days. Only workspace admins can turn on holidays and add them.

  1. Click your profile picture. Under Workspace, select Settings. Settings opens on Workspace overview.

  2. Under Holiday schedule, turn on the switch. If Hive asks Update team calendar?, click Yes, update.

  3. Click Manage calendars.

  4. In Manage holiday calendars, select a calendar, or click Add new calendar.

  5. Under Calendar members, select the people the calendar applies to.

  6. Click Add holiday, enter the name and date, and click the checkmark.

Holidays are blocked in the Gantt chart and Resourcing, and are color-coded in the action date picker. They apply only to the members of their calendar. Repeating actions skip them too.

People can still pick a holiday in the date picker. To show that you're away, set your Out of Office status.

Note: Holidays are non-working days, so dates can shift. For example, if an action due December 31 is delayed one day, it moves to January 2 when January 1 is a holiday.

Copy a holiday to next year

Next to the holiday, click ⋯ and select Copy over to next year. Hive adds the same holiday one year later. For holidays that move each year, edit the new date.
