Task Exclusions

Description

Enables exclusions to be set within the task level. This allows you to specify on what months, days, weekdays, or time intervals to disable triggering for the task. Provided ranges are separate and independent from each other (for example, specifying both December and Fridays will lead to exclusion of all Fridays and all days of December, not merely all Fridays of December). You can apply multiple exclusions.

To access the Task Exclusions properties, select Options on the Server Management Console's navigation bar, and then select Default Properties > Tasks > Task Exclusions.

You can also access these properties in the Repository by right-clicking a task, and then selecting Go to > Task Exclusions.

NOTE: By default, these properties are inherited by all tasks on the system unless they are set by way of the individual agent, workflow, or task level. For more details regarding inheritance hierarchies, see Property Inheritance.
