Keyword | leaves

Purpose | Describe a list of leave periods. A leave can be due to a public holiday, personal or sick leave. At global scope, the leaves determine which day is considered a working day. Subsequent resource definitions will inherit the leave list. Leaves can be defined at global level, at resource level and at shift level and intervals may overlap. The leave types have different priorities. A higher priority leave type can overwrite a lower priority type. This means that resource level leaves can overwrite global leaves when they have a higher priority. A sub resource can overwrite a leave of a enclosing resource. Leave periods outside of the project interval are silently ignored. For leave periods that are partially outside of the project period only the part inside the project period will be considered.
Syntax | `leaves (project | annual | special | sick | unpaid | holiday) [<name>] <interval3> [, (project | annual | special | sick | unpaid | holiday) [<name>] <interval3>...]`
Arguments | project | Assignment to another project (lowest priority)

special | Personal leave based on a special occasion
sick | Sick leave
unpaid | Unpaid leave
holiday | Public or bank holiday (highest priority)
name [STRING] | An optional name or reason for the leave
