Hi Team,

You can add new holidays by configuring the Process Calendar settings. Appian functions such as networkdays() , calisworkday() , and calworkdays() rely on the process calendar to determine working days and calculate related information.

I would highly recommend, Maintain business holidays in a database table for maximum flexibility and control. This allows end users to add/modify holidays through an Appian interface, enables easy querying by company and date, and avoids the restrictions of Appian's built-in process calendar.

I do not understand what you mean with "insert", but you have two options, both with their related issues. 
 1) Use a process calendar and add any business holiday. Appian will then respect it when you use this calendar consequently. But there is no way to somehow automate the maintenance of this calendar. 
 2) Store business holidays to the database. Easy to automate maintenance, but you loose the built in functionality.
