Set Up Holidays for Service Territories in Automotive Cloud

Create holidays to represent days during which a service territory is non-operational. For example, all dealer showrooms and service centers in United States are closed on July 4. Territory managers can link this holiday to all applicable service territories so that they can avoid bookings for test drives and vehicle services on this day. You can create both planned and unplanned holidays.
