What happens when you have a Holiday/Inset Day?

The data collection app has been updated to sync with the holiday dates recorded on the Desktop System Admin Calendar. This allows it to skip holiday weeks when showing the previous week's data allowing Kitchen staff to see what happened in the last working week.

Holiday is marked in Green on the Desktop calendar for December 6th.
