Introduction

JS7 offers JS7 - Calendars for use with JS7 - Schedules:

  • 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.

Manage Calendar

Add Calendar

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

  • The tree in the left panel offers an action menu to create a calendar.
  • The action menu is available from the Calendars object folder.


When adding a Calendar a popup window asks for the object name:


As a result an empty Calendar object becomes available:

  • 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 Frequencies of the same or different type can be added.
  • Similar to a Calendar each Frequency can further limit the validity period. However, a Frequency cannot anticipate or exceed its Calendar's validity.

 Typical Frequencies include for example:

  • Weekdays: Monday to Friday, every week,
  • Specific Weekdays: every first Friday, every last Monday in month
  • Specific Days: days selected from a yearly calendar
  • Month Days: 3rd of month, last of month, last-3 of month
  • Recurring Days: every 2nd day in every month,
  • National Holidays: for a country for the particular year.

When using the Add Frequency button for a Calendar the following popup window offers to select a Frequency:

  • 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.

Frequency: Weekdays

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

This option lets users freely select dates from a yearly calendar.

Frequency: Month Days

This option specifies relative days in a month:

  • in ascending order from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.
  • in descending order from the last, last-1, last-2 etc.
     

Manage Frequencies

With Frequencies being added users find the list of available Frequencies for the Calendar object: Actions are offered for each Frequency:

  • The   icon shows the preview of days for the given Frequency.
  • The  icon allows to edit the given Frequency.
  • The  icon removes the given Frequency.

Show Calendar Preview

The Calendar object view offers the Show Preview button:

  • A preview of merged days of all included Frequencies is displayed.
  • The preview can further be limited by selecting from the list of available Frequencies.
