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
- In the Administration view, click Project Management
Administration.
- 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.
- From the calendar on the right, double-click a date or
select the date and click Exception. By default,
the current date is selected.
- Optional: To create an exception, in the Exceptions
window, specify the range of the exception dates in the From and To fields.
- 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.
- In the Comment field, enter a comment. The comment that you enter is displayed when you move the mouse
pointer over the calendar date.
- Optional: To remove an exception, click Remove
Exception.
- Click Save Exception.
