International and Local Public Holidays can somehow set the calendar view according to the country setting.

Ian Tam

Currently, users such as project managers, have to manually enter the public holidays in the calendar one by one. It would be great if public holidays could somehow be set by default according to the country setting.

Thank you for posting, Ian Tam! I have a few more questions for you:

Which countries should be prioritized for the default public holiday settings?
Are there specific public holiday calendars or sources that should be used for accuracy?
Should users have the option to customize or override the default public holiday settings?

Jon Darbyshire 1. I don't think priority is country specific. I think priority needs to be based on where most of your customers are. For example, I suspect North America would be a Smartsuite's customer dominant region. If you do North America first for example, then it will have a replicated effects for many European countries as well. Other countries such as Australia and Canada will also benefit. Public holidays such as New Year, Easter and Christmas are celebrated in many countries in Asia as well. 2. I am not familiar which source is best, but I use Microsoft Outlook for my calendar, and they appear to be able to add different regional public holidays into my calendar. For example, you can add the Chinese calendar and see Chinese New Year public holidays in Asia. Having users being able to see different public holidays in different regions is very useful. 3. Yes, I think so. I think if a user does not want to have it then they should have the option to disable it.
