The Holidays are Coming - How to show on your GoldMine Calendar

September 30, 2009

in GoldMine Tips

Yes, October is upon us and all the holidays are coming up  - To help you track all these great holidays GoldMine has a great “Holiday” feature to put those on the calendar for you.

To set up the Holidays we’re going to start on the Calendar.  Then do a Right-Click | Options | Preferences (Or Calendar Options). Then click on the Holidays button.  GoldMine might ask you if you want to import predefined Holidays, click  Yes to that.  You’ll see something like this:

On the left side you’ll see a series of different Holiday Categories. By clicking you each you can see holidays they include.  To have the holidays for a particular category show on your calendar check the box next to the category as I’ve done with United States above.

You can highlight any individual holiday and click Remove to remove it, for example most of us work on President’s day so I’d remove that.  We’ll also want to add some, like Christmas.  Note: You do need master rights to add or remove individual holidays from a category.

First click New.  We’ll name this Christmas Eve and Christmas then set it to occur once a year for two days and we’ll choose December 24th as the starting day.

Go ahead and Click OK to get back to the main section and OK again to go back to Preferences and OK again to get back to the calendar.

Here’s how the Holiday will show up on the weekly calendar view.
