Introduction

• Calendars specify the days for which Orders can be created by Schedules to execute Workflows.
• Schedules can further limit the days suggested by a Calendar and specify the time for which Orders are scheduled.

Add Calendar

Calendars are available from the Configuration->Inventory View in in the respective sub-folders.

...

• Calendars are configured for either working days or non-working days:
  • Working day Calendars specify the business days for which orders for workflow execution are scheduled.
  • Non-working day Calendars specify days that are excluded from workflow execution.
  • Both calendar types can be combined with precedence being given to non-working days for any overlapping days.
• Calendars can be limited by a validity period that specifies the begin and end of validity respectively. A Calendar does not calculate days that lie
  • before begin of its validity period,
  • after end of its validity period.
    
    

Add Frequencies

The selection of days in a Calendar is managed by use of Frequencies:

...

• Any number of the same or different Frequencies can be added to a Calendar.
• Frequencies are merged to calculate the resulting days of the given Calendar.

This option offers to select the days of week.

Frequency: Specific Weekdays

This option offers to specify a day of week and its occurrence in a month.

Frequency: Specific Days

Frequency: Month Days
