Adding exceptions to the calendar

You can add non-working days as exceptions to the base calendar. If you add exception to the base calendar, it impacts all of the project calendars and resource calendars that inherits the base calendar.

About this task

By adding exceptions to a calendar, you can manage situations in which you need to declare holiday other than the holidays that are specified on the base calendar. You might also use exceptions when you need to change a planned holiday to a working day because of a business need.

To add exceptions to the base calendar:

Procedure

  1. In the Administration view, click Project Management Administration.
  2. From the left pane, click Calendars to view the list of base calendars. From the list of calendars, click a calendar to add an exception to.
  3. From the calendar on the right, double-click a date or select the date and click Exception. By default, the current date is selected.
  4. Optional: To create an exception, in the Exceptions window, specify the range of the exception dates in the From and To fields.
  5. Optional: To repeat the exception, click Repeat Exception, and select the frequency: Weekly or Yearly. You might need to repeat the exception when you have a demand to work for additional hours; for example, eight hours every day. The repeated week or day of a month or the date is determined on the date you have clicked.
  6. In the Comment field, enter a comment. The comment that you enter is displayed when you move the mouse pointer over the calendar date.
  7. Optional: To remove an exception, click Remove Exception.
  8. Click Save Exception.
