Holidays & Non-working Days
Once you set up holidays, Nimoo automatically excludes them from all working-day calculations — every stage’s day count will always mean working days, not calendar days.
If your project spans a public holiday or long weekend, set up holidays before you start scheduling to keep stage placements accurate.
Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) are non-working days by default — no setup needed. If your team works on Saturdays, you can adjust the working week in settings.
Two levels of holiday settings
Nimoo has two levels of holiday settings:
Global settings — apply to all projects under your account. Use this for public holidays and recurring long weekends that affect every project.
Project-level — only affects the current timeline. Use this for one-off situations like “the client is working that day” or “we need that day off for this particular project.”
Global holiday settings
Where to find it
Click the account menu in the top-right and select “Holiday Settings”.
Adding holidays
You can add holidays two ways:
Type a date: Enter the date in the input field (supports formats like 1/1 or 2026/01/01) and press Enter to confirm.
Click on the calendar: Click directly on a date to mark it as a holiday; click again to unmark it.
You can mix both methods freely when adding multiple dates.
Setting makeup days (working-day exceptions)
Some holiday periods include makeup days — days that were originally off but are now working days:
- Switch to the “Makeup Days” tab
- Add dates using either the text input or calendar
- The system treats those days as working days and won’t exclude them from calculations
Removing a holiday
Click the × on any date tag to remove it. The timeline recalculates immediately; affected stage placements may shift.
Project-level holiday adjustments
In the timeline, click directly on a date header (the block showing the date number and day of week) to toggle that day’s working status for this project:
- Click a regular working day → marks it as a holiday for this project
- Click a holiday → switches it back to a working day
- Click a weekend → marks it as a makeup working day for this project
Blue dot indicator
Dates you’ve manually adjusted at the project level show a small blue dot below the header, so you can tell at a glance which dates have project-specific overrides.
When a project-level override matches the global setting (e.g., you’ve also added that day as a holiday globally), the blue dot disappears — the two are in sync, so no separate indicator is needed.
Scope
Both global and project-level settings affect:
- All stage day counts (non-working days are excluded)
- Timeline updates immediately, recalculating stage placements
- New stages added later, boundary adjustments, and day count changes all continue to respect your holiday settings
- Holiday settings don’t affect the read-only share view — recipients see the correctly-calculated dates
