Symptom
When you submit a request, you see:The holiday calendar needs to be set up by an administrator.Administrators also see a Set up the calendar link.
Cause
Tivero counts requests only from a holiday calendar your organization has confirmed. For the person’s work location and the year of the request, the calendar has the Needs confirmation status. This is a deliberate safeguard — Tivero doesn’t guess which days are off for you. The most common situations:- a new workspace where nobody has confirmed the calendar yet;
- a request for next year, whose calendar hasn’t been confirmed yet;
- the person was given a new work location in another country.
Fix
