Exclude Calendars

Closed days are those days on which a group of scheduled tasks cannot be performed. Closed days can be specified in a calendar (for example, weekends are implicitly closed when a rule specifies weekdays) or in a separate vacation calendar. A vacation calendar is created with rules specifying valid dates, like any other calendar. Specifying a calendar as a vacation or exclude calendar closes out dates that would otherwise be defined as valid dates for performing tasks.

For example, certain tasks cannot be performed on company holidays. In this event, you create a calendar that specifies all company holidays. Then, for each task in a schedule you want to skip on company holidays, specify the company holiday calendar as the Exclude Calendar. The company holidays are then closed days for those tasks.
