Working day and holiday global setting

[Lucy Ma]

Hi,

I am currently managing over 10 projects in my company and need to configure public holiday into Jira. Does Jira allow the admin to set up non-working days globally for company managed projects? 

Thank you.

Hi @Lucy Ma ,

Yes, Jira allows the admin to set up non-working days globally for company-managed projects.
To configure global working days and holidays in Jira, follow these steps:

1. Go to your board and select "more (...) > Configure board."
2. Then, select the "Working days" tab.
3. In the "Standard working days" section, select the days during which your team usually works.
4. In the "Non-working dates" section, use the date picker to specify holidays or one-off dates your team won't be working, then select "Add date".

Regards,
Bhushan

Hi Bhushan, 

Thank you for the reply. By reading the page, the setting page gives me the following "Configure the timezone, standard working days, and any non-working dates for your board. Settings on this page affect reports and gadgets." 

I am looking for a solution that will set non-working day globally across different projects within my domain. After giving it a try, the setting done in project is only saved within itself, not synchronised with other projects in the same domain.

Hi @Lucy Ma ,

Jira Software does not have a built-in feature to set global working days or holidays. However, you may achieve this functionality using third-party apps available in the Atlassian Marketplace.
Some popular app for handling working days and holidays in Jira is 

• Activity Timeline - How to Create a Jira Holiday Calendar?
• Team Capacity Planning, Time Tracking & Timesheets for Jira. 

Also, if you feel my input help you please accept the answer.

Bhushan
