Exception calendar

An Exception calendar is used to specify exceptions when a Process Step should not run. An Exception calendar can be used by multiple process Steps.

Create

From the menu, click Process Steps > Exceptions Calendar followed by Add new to create an Exception calendar. We create one in the example that should not be run on certain holidays. Later we will link this Calendar to a Process Step.

Exeption Calendar

We set the title to Bank Holidays. Then click on Save.

Click Save to save the exception.

Example

The Process Step may not run on April 27 and may not be started until 10:00 a.m. on April 28. According to the normal Runtime the Process Step is allowed to start from 09:00. So we set the original Wait time to 10. (10 hours from 00:00 AM)

After we save the exception we see it again in our overview. Exeption Calendar

The list can of course be extended. More exceptions can be added to the Exception Calendar.
