You can specify several different types of exceptions to the standard rotating weekday schedule. Exceptions can take a number of different forms including single days of a specific or generic month, single weekdays in a month, or single calendar dates. You can also specify a range of days/dates and even specify skip intervals to obtain functionality described by "every 3 days between these dates". Rather than list all the possible formats for exception strings, I'll let you look at the example timeperiod definitions above to see what's possible. :-) ! </p> ! <p> ! Weekdays and different types of exceptions all have different levels of precedence, so its important to understand how they can affect each other.
