2018 is here, and now is the perfect time to get your studio ready to tackle the new year! A great way to get started is by importing 2018 holidays into your Spectra/myStratus database. You don’t have to stop at holidays either. You can also import any special event that will affect your studio. This includes staff birthdays, days the studio will be closed, company retreats, or anything else that you want visible on your calendar!
Start by creating an Excel spreadsheet of all the holidays/events you want on your calendar. Click here to download a pre-made spreadsheet from our website with a list of 2018 holidays for your country. If you don’t see your country listed, create your own holiday spreadsheet or download another country’s list to use as a template. With the downloaded spreadsheet, you can add, modify, or delete any holidays/events your studio does or doesn’t observe.
Once your spreadsheet is ready to be imported, go to Maintenance > General > Special Calendar Events and Holidays > Import from Excel. Then select the spreadsheet you downloaded and import it. Once the import process finishes, the holidays from your spreadsheet will now be visible on everyone’s calendar within Spectra/myStratus.

Once you have imported the holidays, is there anyway to delete one or all of the entries from the Spectra Calendar? Somehow we got double entries.
Hi Cliff, Those entries can be deleted from the same menu you imported them. At Maintenance > General > Special Calendar Events and Holidays, you can either delete the records or set them as inactive.
