Period Groups are used to include or exclude certain maintenance processes from normal scheduling. A simple example might be to create a Period Group for each month of the year. When setting up maintenance for a company, it may be that maintenance during January is not possible as the office is too busy during that time. It would be possible to set up a standard maintenance schedule for the entire year, but exclude January from the normal cycle using Period Group exclusion. Similarly, by setting up a Period Group for each season in the year, it would possible to exclude maintenance during winter months when access due to prevailing weather conditions may not permit normal maintenance to be carried out.

Period Groups are assigned to Maintenance Periods in Maintenance Calendar Setup.
