Exceptions are schedule events
that may require manual intervention. These exceptions can also be viewed in
the Exception panel at the top right in the PSO workbench window. Each plan
in PSO may contain number of Schedule Exceptions and can be identified based
on its Scheduling Exception Type.
Scheduling Exceptions are
loaded per data set and contains two main tables. The upper table is to view
the exception Types and below table is to view the details of the Exception.
These exceptions can be displayed in various ways depending on the several exception
properties i.e. Display by Exception Type, Display By activity, Display by Activity
Type etc.
The user has the ability to acknowledge exceptions to demonstrate that they have been dealt with. These acknowledgements are visible to other users provided they have the appropriate permissions. User can directly acknowledge a exception or can enter a comment (optional). It is possible to add multiple comments with varying acknowledged statuses for one exception. To allow users to acknowledge exceptions there are permissions that require setting, giving the option to switch off the privilege if required.
