Skip Weekends
Posted by CRM-Larry on August 1st, 2006


When scheduling activities from workflow, there should be an option to "skip
weekends". That way no tasks are due on Saturday afternoon and the boss is
notified by Monday morning because you are 2 days late on completing that
task...

Hi Larry,

I've done this kind of thing when creating a new phone call manually (within
the Web interface) using Javascript code only.

What I did was to verify 2 days ahead of the current day (when you create
the phone call) to see if it was Saturday or Sunday; if it's the case, I
either put the Due Date to Monday or Tuesday (since, for our client, new
phone calls must be treated within 48 open hours).
Of course, this approach is very simplistic since I don't take into account
the Business Closures of the client (which is a bank).

Maybe you could do the same using workflow since you have access to an
"out-of-the-box" assembly which is called AddDateTime (or something like
that) that could just be what you need.
For now, you should develop a small assembly to call from workflow to know
if the scheduling will fall on a Saturday or Sunday and therefore add the
corresponding number of days to your appointment.

Have somebody got a solution for this?

I need to pause the timers in workflow on a sales process for not to tick
during after hours, weekends and holiday?
