Managing Holidays Effectively with the Holiday List Dashboard

The Holiday List Management Dashboard is a front-end shortcode-based interface that enables admins and group leaders to manage holidays affecting assignment deadlines. From this dashboard, users can create and maintain a holiday list that is used to automatically extend assignment deadlines when holidays fall within the deadline period. Additionally, it provides options to configure weekend exclusion settings, allowing weekends to be excluded from the total deadline duration for more accurate scheduling.

Dashboard Shortcode and Page:

Upon installing or updating the plugin, a page titled Assignment Deadline Holiday List Dashboard will be automatically created. This page will contain the shortcode [asdld_assignment_deadline_holiday_list_dashboard], which displays the Assignment Deadline Holiday List Dashboard, where you can manage holidays and configure weekend exclusion settings.
You can access the Holiday List Management Dashboard directly from the course lesson and topic settings page.

Access and Permissions:

Admin and Group Leaders: Can manage holiday list with different holiday dates and configure weekend exclusion settings.

Dashboard Components Overview:

The Holiday List Management Dashboard is divided into key components that allow for efficient holiday and weekend configuration. These components work together to ensure that assignment deadlines are accurately calculated by accounting for holidays and non-working days. Below is a breakdown of each component and its functionality.

Weekend Settings

This setting allows users to fine-tune how assignment deadlines are calculated by choosing whether to exclude weekends. Users can choose to exclude Saturday, Sunday, or both days from the deadline duration. This is especially helpful for institutions or courses that do not operate on weekends, ensuring fair and accurate deadline management.

Holiday List

This component enables users to manage custom holiday dates that affect assignment deadlines.
Add Holiday Dates: Users can select dates using a built-in date picker and assign a title or label for each holiday, making the list clear and organized.

Delete Holidays: Users can easily remove any existing holidays from the list, making it simple to manage and update non-working days.

The Holiday List Management Dashboard provides a simple and effective way to control how holidays and weekends impact assignment deadlines. By customizing holiday dates and weekend exclusions, admins and group leaders can ensure fair, accurate, and flexible deadline management across all courses.
