To add a non-work exception for a staff into Projectal, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Staff Planner screen by clicking Planner on the left sidebar and then clicking Staff Planner.
2. Click the Add button on the Staff Planner screen toolbar or double click in a date cell on the Staff Planner.
3. This will display the Add Event screen.
4. On the Add Event screen, click the Non-Work tab.

Tip: A more convenient and quicker way to add a non-work exception for a staff is to use your mouse to click in a staff member's date cell where you would like the non-work exception to start and drag to where you would like it to finish.  The Add Event screen will will be pre-filled with those dates and the staff member. 

Tip: Whilst dragging your mouse to create a new non-work exception, the start date and finish date will be blocked to the cell's boundary (either day, week, month or year).  If you wish to have more finer control and choose the exact day or time for your non-work exception, then hold down the SHIFT key whilst dragging and the blocking is turned off so you can choose your preferred day or time within a cell. 

Tip: You can also add exceptions for staff by using the Edit Staff screen.
