Calendar Exceptions

Calendar exceptions are days that will be treated as an exception to the general rule, such as holidays that fall on typical working days. From the Calendar Exceptions page, you can choose particular dates and mark them as working or non-working days. Identifying these days at the onset of a project helps the schedule manager plan more effectively.

Calendar exceptions at the account level will affect every project in the account. The dates are visible on the Project Details Settings tab and cannot be removed from the project level. For accounts using Resource Management or with Multiple Calendars feature activated, the account level Calendar Exceptions roll to the Project Details page, but do not affect the Schedule module. Accounts using these features must set calendar exceptions independently within each individual calendar.

To update calendar exceptions in bulk without account level exceptions, create a special Schedule template without any tasks. Set up calendars within Manage Calendars including calendar exceptions. Whenever new holidays are added as exceptions, the project teams can re-apply the template. Calendars with the same names as those in the template will be updated with new exception.

Only a user with update project details permissions has the ability to modify the calendar exceptions.

In the Schedule module, the schedule manager has the opportunity to specify the days of the week that will be included in a typical work week.
