Setting Business Days in a Calendar

When setting a dates, you may want your users to set date intervals using business days rather than normal calendar days. While Guide Designer does understand that a business week differs from a normal week in that it only has five days, it doesn't know what holidays your company offers. Set your company's holidays using a

HolidayCalendar

element. Here's an example:


<HolidayCalendar xmlns="http://schemas.active-endpoints.com/appmodules/screenflow/2012/12/avosHostCalendar.xsd">
   <WeekendDay name="Saturday" dayOfWeek="Saturday" endDate=""/>
   <WeekendDay name="Sunday" dayOfWeek="Sunday"/>
   <AnnualMonthDayHoliday name="New Year's Day" month="January" day="1" weekendMoveToNext="Monday"/>
   <AnnualDayOfWeekInMonthHoliday name="President's Day" month="February" dayOfWeek="Monday" occurance="Third"/>
   <AnnualDayOfWeekInMonthHoliday name="Memorial Day" month="May" dayOfWeek="Monday" occurance="Last"/>
   <AnnualMonthDayHoliday name="Independence Day" month="July" day="4" weekendMoveToNext="Monday"/>
   <SpecificDateHoliday name="Day After Independence Day" startDate="2013-07-05"/>
   <AnnualDayOfWeekInMonthHoliday name="Labor Day" month="September" dayOfWeek="Monday" occurance="First"/>
   <AnnualDayOfWeekInMonthHoliday name="Columbus Day" month="October" dayOfWeek="Monday" occurance="Second"/>
   <AnnualDayOfWeekInMonthHoliday name="Thanksgiving" month="November" dayOfWeek="Thursday" occurance="Fourth"/>
   <AnnualDayOfWeekInMonthHoliday name="Day After Thanksgiving" month="November" dayOfWeek="Friday" occurance="Fourth"/>
   <AnnualMonthDayHoliday name="Christmas Day" month="December" day="25"/>
</HolidayCalendar>

Notice the

avosHostCalendar.xsd

namespace. If this isn't declared, Guide Designer will not know that this is a calendar file.

After you deploy your XML file, Guide Designer will understand your company's holidays.
