Request for Guidance on Bulk Setting Japanese Holidays in Workfront

[SKawaguchi]

I hope this message finds you well.

I would like to import Japan’s weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and public holidays into Workfront to facilitate progress tracking and effort calculations. I have the official public holiday data from Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, which I can provide as an attachment.

Could you please guide me on the steps or process to bulk import this data into Workfront so that these days are recognized as non-working days? Additionally, if there are any specific format requirements or tools needed for this import, kindly let me know.

Thank you in advance for your support. I look forward to your guidance.

Best regards,

[Sri_Nijs]

There is an option for you to add the holiday exceptions in the Schedules functionality.

You can create a Schedule for the required groups and add your holidays in the exceptions tab. you have to do this every year though.

Good afternoon,

The Workfront feature you need to support that goal is called a 'Schedule'. Once created, the Schedule can be applied to either an individual user and/or a project itself. Applying the schedule to a user will ensure that the resourcing areas of Workfront reflect their availability correctly. Applying the schedule to a project will ensure that the project plan itself schedules around the holidays regardless of what staff is assigned.

I do not believe the dates can be bulk-imported via a 'Kick-Start' template, but creating a schedule is a relatively minor task that can be done once in Setup and then used in many places. https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/administration-and-setup/set-up-wf/config...
