At present the REST interface supports the creation of exclusion calendars as well as scheduled jobs that reference these exclusion calendars.  However, there is no way to configure either the calendar or the job in the JRS UI (note - the exception to this is that you can choose a holiday exclusion calendar in the job scheduler).  So when I had a client ask me to setup the scheduled jobs to run on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month, I had to spend several hours figuring out exclusion calendars, how to create them and then how to submit my jobs via rest so that I could actually use them.  

Telling my client that they couldn't schedule at the requested granularity wasn't an option.  So I am very grateful that we had the API's available via REST. 

This request is 2 fold.

1. Loosen up the filter on the Job Scheduling UI page to allow the selection of all types of exclusion calendars (not just holiday).
2. Adding a UI to create/edit exclusion calendars AND/OR allow for more granular cron level scheduling in the present scheduler interface (this would in many cases eliminate the need for the non-holiday exclusion calendars).
