Exclusion Day Setup

The Work program's Exclusion Days module enables agencies to define non-working days and dates so that the PM/Work Template module will not generate Work Orders that start on those days. This helps to block off weekends, holidays or other days work that should not be generated.

The Exclusion Days created in this module are automatically applied to all PM/Templates. However, a user can add supplemental Exclusion Days to a specific PM/Template. For example, an agency may want to create Exclusion Days to prevent fountain-maintenance PMs from being generated from November through March, when the fountains are drained for the winter. More information about PM Exclusion Days.

Note: Exclusion Days prevent the system from automatically generating Work Orders that start on selected days/dates; they do not prevent a user from creating a Work Order that starts on those days/dates.

Lucity automatically carries over existing Exclusion Days to the following year. This is convenient for standard non-working days, such as weekends, or holidays that always fall on a particular date, such as Christmas. Note, however, that at the beginning of every calendar year, administrators must update Exclusion Day records for floating holidays that fall on a certain day, rather than a particular date (e.g., Presidents Day).

To open the Exclusion Days module, select Work > Administration > Exclusion Day Setup.

In the Work > Administration > Exclusion Day Setup module, click the button.
Select a Day of the Week (e.g., Sunday).
Enter a Reason if desired.
Click the button to save the record. The new record appears in the Exclusion Days grid, preventing Lucity from generating Work on that day of the week.

In the Work > Administration > Exclusion Day Setup module, click the button.
If the exclusion day is a single date:
1. Enter the same date in the Start Date and End Date fields.
If the exclusion day is a range of dates:
1. Enter the beginning date of the range in the Start Date field.
2. Enter the concluding date of the range in the End Date field.
  Note: The Start Date and End Date must be in the same calendar year. If you need to enter a range that exceeds Dec. 31, you must create two separate Exclusion Day records.
  - Example: 12/20/2016 - 12/31/2016 & 1/1/2016 - 1/15/2016.
Enter a Reason, if desired.
- Example: "Martin Luther King Jr. Day" or "City Offices Closed for Winter Break"
Click the button to save the record. A new record appears in the grid, and PM/Templates will not generate work on the listed date(s).
