Maintain Exception Settings

Use

Use this process to define exception codes and the settings associated with them.

By exception, we mean some unexpected situation that may happen in the yard when you are executing yard tasks.

You can assign an exception code to a yard task for the system to execute the settings associated with this exception code in case of an unexpected situation.
