The Holiday Schedule lists your organization's holidays by year, so SmartSuite skips them when it calculates working days. Administrators add each holiday with a date and a name in Workspace Settings > Holiday Schedule.
Deadlines and durations that count business days then leave the holidays out.
Example: a compliance team adds its company holidays for the year. A control test due five business days before a public holiday then lands on the right day.
