Creating Workday Schedules

Use Workday frequencies to define workdays and to schedule jobs and process flows to run on a select number of workdays from the beginning or end of the month. If you need to run a job or process flow on two workdays in the same month, create two schedules.

Using workdays, you can create schedules based on a specific day measured from the beginning or the end of the month. For example, you might want to run a task on the 5th working day of the month, or on the 4th workday from the end of the month.

In the image above, the schedule will run SALES_REPORTS on the fourth Monday through Friday workday of each month.

Procedure

To create a workday schedule:

1. On the Frequency tab, select Work Day from the Units group box.
2. Enter a value in the ___ (st, nd, rd, th) Workday field.

The ___ (st, nd, rd, th) Workday field works differently than the field used for other schedule units. It runs once a month based on this setting instead of every so many days.

If you need a job or process flow to run on more than one workday in a month, you can create several workday schedules for it. For example, if you wanted a process flow to run on the 5th and 20th workdays of each month, you would create a workday schedule for the 5th and a second workday schedule for the 20th.

3. Select one of the following options: From the start of the month or Before the end of the month.
4. In the Workdays group box, select the days of the week that will be considered work days.
