How do I schedule PC time for school breaks? Holiday data and make-up workdays

Use Holiday data management to mark summer/winter vacation, public holidays and make-up workdays so the PC schedule follows the school calendar. Covers all four import methods, formats, and why a one-time manual import is required.

AIVI does not fetch holiday calendars automatically — parents import holiday data once. Once imported, marked dates participate in scheduling: public holidays fold into rest days and make-up workdays are treated as workdays.

How should I schedule PC time for winter and summer vacation?

Two steps: import the vacation dates into Holiday data management, then add slots for the matching day type — the vacation then runs on its own schedule. Import methods below.

Open Holiday data management

Windows client: Settings → Time Management → Holiday data management. Web: Dashboard → Settings → Time Management → Holiday data management.

How do I add public holidays and make-up workdays to the schedule?

Use Public import for the year's national holidays, Official import for special make-up days, Quick summer / Quick winter for school breaks, and manual add for individual dates. All four below.

Four ways to add dates

Add a single date manually

  1. Click Add date to open Edit special control date.
  2. Date: enter YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2026-07-01.
  3. Override day type: choose Public holiday or Make-up workday.
  4. Description: required, e.g. “summer vacation” or “final exams”. It is shown on the lock screen and in today's plan so the child sees it.

Two tips for vacation scheduling

  • Mark holidays first, then add slots: after marking dates as public holidays, add holiday-type slots for the matching weekdays in by-weekday mode; in workday & rest-day mode holidays automatically fold into the rest-day template.
  • Use descriptions as phases, e.g. “early summer” or “back-to-school wind-down”, so the child sees which phase today belongs to right on the lock screen — fewer arguments.
