If you’re using custom or country-based calendars in Bob, here’s how holidays work year to year.

 

When you create a custom calendar, you can add events for future years in advance. That way, your regional holidays can be set up ahead of time without needing to recreate the calendar.

 

 

When you use a country-based calendar, Bob automatically adds the next year’s standard public holidays for that country. However, any custom edits you made this year won’t carry over. Each year, you’ll need to review the preloaded holidays and adjust them so they reflect your company’s schedule.

 

  • Custom calendar → holidays don’t reset, you just keep adding to it.
  • Country-based calendar → holidays reset each year, and your customizations need to be re-added.

How do I adjust visibility settings for this calendar? Currently only admins can see it, but I want all site’s employees to see it. Thanks!

​@Anna Uriadnykova I’ve created a custom calendar, but when I add the dates to either 2026 or 2027 they don’t appear in the other year (i.e. 2026 dates don’t carry forward to 2027 calendar, 2027 dates don’t backfill to 2026 calendar).

Please can you confirm exactly what actions I need to take to create a calendar that will automatically repeat the specific days each year?

Equally, is there any way to automatically add days in lieu when the standard public holiday falls on a weekend? The office I’m making a calendar for only closes for New Year’s Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day (UK-based).

​@Anna Uriadnykova hi there has the product team received feedback that customers would like custom calendars to pre-populate holidays for future years? Creating them manually is a lot of effort, especially as we add more sites, today my company has a total of 17.

​@Harshil Boparai not sure if Anna is still active on Heartcore, tagging you in case you can direct this query towards another Bobber? We’ve got a few q’s on this thread that would be great to know the answers to.

Wha would be great is to have an audit trail to see who made changes and what changes had been made. Simply because, if you accidentally make changes to 2026 but you intend to make changes to 2027, you might not necessarly know what changes you have made. You cannot undo the mistake unless you know what changes had been made. 

Or is there something I am missing and this can actually be looked up?
