When you access the page by clicking the Holiday Capacity button in FTD Florist Link Administration, you are able to see the details for your currently selected store. You are also able to select a holiday to view statistics for from the Holiday list. By default, the calendar displays a two week, Sunday to Saturday calendar with the days and dates where the selected holiday fell the last two years, and where it will fall in the current year. If you click the Align Holiday check box, the display collapses so you see the days before and after the holiday, relative to the holiday. Depending on how you are planning your holiday period, one view may be more beneficial than the other.
