The Public Holiday Schedule feature allows Communities to assign dates they do not want approvals to escalate automatically. This ensures approvals are not escalating to users who are out of the office on specified day(s) and potentially miss requisitions to approve.
Approvals will not auto-escalate on weekends, by default.
