Deleting a Holiday List
The system allows you to delete a holiday list from the system and guides you through the necessary steps if the list is currently assigned to employees before completing the deletion.
Before You Begin
- Make sure you have the permission to delete holiday lists in your role.
Steps to Delete a Holiday List
- From the main menu navigate to “Attendance Settings” then click “Holiday Lists“.
- Click the “Delete” button next to the required list.
Case 1 — List is Not Assigned to Any Employee
The standard delete confirmation appears — click Confirm to complete the deletion.
Case 2 — List is Assigned to Employees
A dialog appears with the title Cannot Delete Holiday List – List is Assigned displaying the names of all employees the list is assigned to. Each employee name is clickable and links directly to their employee profile.
To complete the deletion you must first remove the list from all employees:
- Click “Remove Holiday List from All Employees“.
- A confirmation dialog appears titled “Remove Holiday List from All Employees?” showing the affected employees again with a warning that this action cannot be undone.
- Type “delete” in the confirmation input field.
- Click “Confirm and Remove“.
After the removal is complete the system deletes the list automatically, a message appears stating “Holiday List removed from all employees successfully” and you are redirected to the Holiday Lists page.
Notes
- All assignment and removal actions are recorded in the activity log with the name of the person who performed the action, the date, and the number of affected employees.
- If the list fails to be removed from some employees the following message appears: “Failed to remove the Holiday List from some employees. Please try again.”
- The activity log filter includes “Assigned Holiday List” and “Removed Holiday List” options to view all changes related to holiday lists.
