Holiday List Assignment in Frappe HR: Assigning Holiday Lists in Bulk
A Holiday List Assignment lets you assign a holiday list to many employees at once. Instead of opening each Employee record and setting the holiday list one by one, you pick the list, filter down to the right people, and apply it to all of them in a single action.
You will find it in the Leave Management section of Frappe HR.
BEFORE YOU START
Create the Holiday List you want to assign first, and make sure the Employee records you’ll be assigning it to already exist.
How to assign a holiday list in bulk
- Open Holiday List Assignment and start a new assignment.
- Select the Holiday List you want to apply.
- Narrow the employees using the available filters by company, department, branch, designation, and similar fields so only the relevant people are loaded.
- Select the employees you want from the list.
- Apply the assignment.
The chosen holiday list is then set against all the selected employees in one go, so attendance and leave use the correct holidays for each of them.
TIP
This is the fastest way to roll out a new year’s holiday list. Create “Holidays 2025”, then use a Holiday List Assignment filtered by company or branch to push it to everyone at once rather than editing hundreds of Employee records by hand.
When to use it
Reach for a Holiday List Assignment whenever the same holiday list applies to a whole group a new annual list for the entire company, or a region-specific list for one branch. For a single new joiner you can still set the holiday list directly on their Employee record; the assignment tool is about doing it at scale.
