# Managing Non-Working Days

> 1. Open the **Non-Working Days** tab on the **Settings** page. A list with all the calendars previously defined is displayed, ordered alphabetically.

## Creating New Calendars

1. Open the **Non-Working Days** tab on the **Settings** page. A list with all the calendars previously defined is displayed, ordered alphabetically.

The **BankHoliday** calendar is displayed here, if it exists. This calendar is created when upgrading your Orchestrator to 19.10 if you had non-working days defined in your previous version.

2. Click **Add** to create a new calendar and type its name in the blank, highlighted field. The name must be unique, and it may contain a maximum of 150 alphanumeric characters. You can't create calendars with no names or containing only space characters.
3. Click **Save** or press **Enter** on your keyboard to save the new calendar. The calendar is saved and displayed in the list of calendars.
4. For the selected calendar, define non-working days either [manually](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-non-working-days#by-manually-selecting-non-working-days), or by [uploading a .csv file](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-non-working-days#by-uploading-csv-files), or a combination of these.
5. In the **Triggers** page, when creating a new trigger or editing an existing one, select the desired calendar from the **Non-working days restriction** drop-down.
6. Click **Update** for the changes to take effect. Every change made to a calendar subsequently propagates to all triggers associated with that calendar.

### By Manually Selecting Non-working Days

1. Select a calendar. The calendar on the right-side of the window is updated accordingly.
2. On the displayed calendar click the dates on which you want your triggers to stop firing. Select again on a selected date to deselect it.
3. Select **Save** to save the selected dates as non-working days.

### By Uploading .csv Files

Enables you to upload a series of dates into a selected calendar, directly from a.csv file. Please note that the file must be populated beforehand using a predefined format so that the upload operation is successful. The new dates from your uploaded file overwrite any dates already contained in the calendar.

:::note
The .csv file must contain `ExcludedDate` column header. All the non-working days must be within that column, written in the `YYYY-MM-DD`, `YYYY/MM/DD` or `YYYY MM DD` format. See the **Example** section below for more information.
:::

#### Option 1

1. On the selected calendar click **Upload csv**.
2. Navigate to the desired .csv file, select it and click **Open**. Orchestrator parses the file to confirm it meets formatting rules (see the example section below).
3. Click **Yes** in the confirmation dialog to overwrite the dates already contained in the calendar with the new dates from your uploaded file.
4. Click **Save** to save the modified calendar.

#### Option 2

1. Drag & Drop the desired `.` file over the selected calendar's top part. Orchestrator parses the file to confirm it meets formatting rules (see the example section below).
2. Click **Yes** in the confirmation dialog to overwrite the dates already contained in the calendar with the new dates from your uploaded file.
3. Click **Save** to save the modified calendar.

#### Example

Let's say you upload into a calendar the content of the following **.csv file**. An easy way to create such a file is to populate the data into an excel file and save it as a.csv file:

Or you can download a.csv file with all the pre-filled column headers and customize it to your needs.

[Download file](https://documentationpicturerepo.blob.core.windows.net/screenshots/screenshots/2019.10_Orchestrator/NonWorkingDaysExampleCSV.csv)

Notice that this file contains a predefined column header, **ExcludedDate**. Enter all your non-working days in that column, using **YYYY-MM-DD**,**YYYY/MM/DD** or **YYYY MM DD** format.
