A Disruption allows you to declare a period during which one or more Tasks cannot proceed normally.

It might for example correspond to bad weather, a supply delay, or unavailability on site.

Create a Disruption

1. Open your Project.
2. Click on Planning.
3. Open the Disruptions & Exceptions tab.
4. Click on +.
5. Select Add a Disruption.
6. Enter the title of the Disruption.
7. Fill in the Start date and the duration.
8. Select the Disruption Type.
9. Add the Tasks concerned.

Select the Tasks concerned

In Scope > Tasks concerned, Select the Tasks impacted by the Disruption.

You can use the search and Filters to find them more easily.

Once a Task is added, it appears in the Scope of the Disruption.

Recalculate dates

In the Impacts section, enable Automatically adjust the End date of Tasks if you want the Disruption to modify the Planning.

Archipad then displays for each Task:

• the initial End date;
• the new planned End date;
• the offset applied.

Note: if this option is not enabled, the Disruption is recorded but the Planning dates are not modified.

Add additional information

You can also add:

• a description;
• Documents;
• Photos;
• any supporting evidence related to the Disruption.

This allows you to keep a record of the reason for the offset directly in the Project.

How are Disruption days calculated?

Only working days are taken into account.

For example, if a Disruption covers a Friday and a Saturday, but Saturday is not a working day, the Task is only offset by one working day.
