Exception Properties dialog
You use the Exception Properties dialog to view and maintain details of the exceptions that you use to define irregular periods of working and non-working time in your calendars. For example, holidays, training days and sick leave are non-working exceptions and overtime and time-and-a-half are working exceptions. You mark exceptions on a calendar to override the working or non-working time defined by the calendar's current work pattern.
How to access the Exception Properties dialog
To access the Exception Properties dialog, right-click an exception in Library Explorer and select Properties.
