Creating an exception for a particular calendar day

You can mark a regular working day as a nonworking day or indicate if certain shifts are valid or not for a particular day. The exceptions that you indicate are only valid for that day.

About this task

For example, if the Fourth of July is a holiday for the organization, and it falls on a Friday, which is a normal working day, you can mark that particular date as a nonworking day.

As another example, if the organization has an extra shift for taking inventory on the last day of each month. You can create that shift and mark it as a valid shift for the last day of each month within your calendar's effective period.

To mark a regular working day as a nonworking day or vice versa, select the date you want from the Calendar Details pop-up window and choose the applicable exception from the Day Details frame.

To mark a default shift as valid or invalid:

Procedure

  1. Open the Applications Manager and select the application that you want.
  2. From the Calendar Details window, select the date you want to work with.
  3. If the date is a default non-work day:
    1. Select Working Day.
    2. Select the shift you want to mark as valid or invalid from the Shifts table. Check Is Valid to indicate that the shift is valid for that particular date. Uncheck Is Valid to indicate that the shift is not valid for that particular date.
    3. Choose OK, then choose the Save icon from the Day Details window.
  4. If the date is a default work day, select Non-Working Day. This automatically unchecks the Is Valid box for all shifts on that day. Choose the Save icon from the Day Details window.
