# Adding a Holiday

**Adding Holidays to Your SimpleSpa Schedule**

Managing holidays in your SimpleSpa system is simple and efficient. Follow the steps below to ensure your schedule accurately reflects holiday periods:

1. **Navigate to Settings:**
   * Log in to your SimpleSpa account.
   * From the main dashboard, go to **Settings**.
   * Select **Locations** from the tab menu.
   * Choose the specific location where you want to apply the holiday.
2. **Access Location Hours:**
   * In the popup window that appears, click on **Location Hours** tab.
   * Click on the **Add Holiday** button to begin configuring your holiday settings.
3. **Configure Holiday Details:**
   * **Type of Holiday:** Select whether the holiday is **Recurring** (e.g., annually) or **One-Time**.
   * **Date Selection:** Enter the specific date range for the holiday.
   * **Name:** Provide a label/name related to the holiday.
4. **Finalize and Save:**
   * Review the holiday details to ensure accuracy.
   * Click **Save** to apply the holiday to your schedule.

**Impact on Booking Availability:**

* **Online Booking:** Once a holiday is added, the online booking system will automatically mark these dates as unavailable, preventing clients from scheduling appointments on those days.
* **SimpleSpa App:** Availability will still be visible within the SimpleSpa app, allowing your staff to manually add appointments if necessary during the holiday period.
