Server Administration Application – Configuring Working Day Calendar

Introduction

The Working Day Calendar allows you to configure which days are non-working days. All other days by inference are seen as working days. The calendar consists of a Java class which defines the basic non-working days – usually weekends – plus the ability to configure additional non-working days – usually public holidays – in addition to this.

The calendar can be used:

In a server-side Javascript script using

DateServices.getWorkingDay(date, int) – returns the nth working day after a specified day
DateServices.isWorkingDay(date) – returns true or false if the specified day is a working day

In workflow escalations in the Workflow Management System e.g. a certain task should be completed within 10 working days

Configuring the calendar Java class

The calendar Java class is configured using server property Holiday Class Names.

Three classes are provided with the system and can be configured:

com.ebasetech.workflow.ufs.server.external.calendar.Weekends	Defines Saturday and Sunday as weekends (this is the default)
com.ebasetech.workflow.ufs.server.external.calendar.FriSatWeekends	Defines Friday and Saturday as weekends
com.ebasetech.workflow.ufs.server.external.calendar.ThuFriWeekends	Defines Thursday and Friday as weekends

Configuring non-working days

Working days have a white background
Non-working days configured with this panel have a bright green background
Non-working days defined by the Java calendar class have a light green background
Days in adjacent months are shown with a grey background

Use the controls at the top of the panel to select a month. Then click on a day to change its status. You also have the option of providing a comment for each non-working day.
