Working with holiday calendars

While previewing a holiday calendar, Rootly will highlight on-call shifts that have potential conflicts with your holiday calendar, such as a responder being on vacation. Check out Creating Overrides to learn how to update your schedule to ensure you have coverage when responders are not available to take their shift.
