Activity Calendar Overrides

This page is accessed via Shipment Management > Power Data > Calendar > Calendar Definitions. Then select the option button to create a cyclical calendar. Then from the activities page, select Next.

An Override Activity takes precedence over the regular activities defined on the calendar. For example, if your calendar is set up for the activity of office hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., but the office closes for Thanksgiving, set up an override activity for that day. Override activities are set up by specific date and time.

To set up an Override Activity, define the Date/Time of the override and the Activity that you want to act as the override action.

You can define a Start Date, Start Time, End Date, and End Time for the override record based on two scenarios below.

• When the checkbox Use Calendar Hours is unchecked, the application will apply the override continuously for the entire duration from the Start Date/Time to the End Date/Time.
  • Example: You can specify the Start Date/Time on 12th March at 8AM and the End Date Time on 20th March at 5PM, then the override will be applied to the entire duration of this time period.
  By default, this checkbox is unchecked.
• When the checkbox Use Calendar Hours is checked, the application will only apply the override during the specific time slot defined by the Start Time and End Time for each individual day within the date range.
  • Example: If the range is from March 12 to March 20 and the time slot is between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, the override occurs only during those four hours on each of those days.

You can also specify if you want the activity you selected to occur during the period you defined, in which case select Perform, or if you want to exclude the activity you selected from occurring between the start and end time, in which case select Don't Perform. You can also specify an activity time factor.
