Working with a Business Calendar |
|
Business calendars typically represent the operating hours of a business. A business calendar specifies a time zone and a set of time period rules. The time zone indicates your local time zone by default . The time period rules determine the days, dates, and hours that are working/available for business activities and non-working/unavailable for business activities. Process Platform allows you to create and define your business calendar. It helps you to plan your works based on actual business hours through defining calendar exceptions by hand or through importing exceptions using a file in an iCal format.
