This article explains how to activate, deactivate, and work with a Holiday/Emergency Plan.
Holiday/Emergency Plans can be used during any low staffing situation. Their main purpose is to remove less important activities from the schedule in bulk.
Plans have to be activated on a day-by-day and unit-by-unit basis. For example, you can activate a plan on Unit A on Monday but not for Unit B.
