[INFO REQ] Weekends different than Sat-Sun

[daniel.piret]

Hello,

Certain customers have their weekends on Fri and Sat and working days goes from Sunday to Thursday, we have tried to change the calendar from this:

				"intervals": [{
					"recurrentStartDate": "on Sat at 0:00",
					"recurrentEndDate": "on Mon at 0:00",
					"isWorking": false
				},

to this:

				"intervals": [{
					"recurrentStartDate": "on Fri at 0:00",
					"recurrentEndDate": "on Sun at 0:00",
					"isWorking": false
				},

But now the Gantt Calendar shows Friday, Saturday and Sunday as grey (non-working days), if I add a task starting on Thursday with duration 2 days it starts on Thursday and finish on Monday, as the non-working day is selected as Fri/Sat I would expect that it should be completed on Sunday, so how do I change the default weekends?

I cannot find in the documentation how to change the default Weekends, can you point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

Did you read this guide about Calendars?

Yes, and it does not specify how to handle weekends, but non-working days, and if I set the working days as explained before the saturday and Sunday are still displaying as weekend no matter what I do, what am I missing here?

here is the calendar I'm using:

	"calendars" : {
		"rows" : [
			{
				"id"        : "general",
				"name"      : "General",
				"intervals": [{
					"recurrentStartDate": "on Fri at 0:00",
					"recurrentEndDate": "on Sun at 0:00",
					"isWorking": false
				},
				{
					"recurrentStartDate" : "every weekday at 12:00",
					"recurrentEndDate"   : "every weekday at 13:00",
					"isWorking"          : false
				},
				{
					"recurrentStartDate" : "every weekday at 17:00",
					"recurrentEndDate"   : "every weekday at 08:00",
					"isWorking"          : false
				}]
			}
		]
	},

After fiddling a bit with the options we found a solution for the Arabic calendars, thanks for your help

The reason why Sat and Sun are still non-working is this interval:

{
    "recurrentStartDate" : "every weekday at 17:00",
    "recurrentEndDate"   : "every weekday at 08:00",
    "isWorking"          : false
}

It's explained here in "Recurrent intervals" chapter:

The above two intervals also make Saturday and Sunday non working days. It happens since on Friday they add a non working interval starting at 17:00 (due to every weekday at 17:00 rule) which finishes only on Monday at 08:00 (due to every weekday at 08:00 rule, where weekday does not include Sat nor Sun so the next matching time is Mon 08:00).

You could define intervals in a different way:

{
    "recurrentStartDate" : "at 12:00 on Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed",
    "recurrentEndDate"   : "at 13:00 on Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed",
    "isWorking"          : false
},
{
    "recurrentStartDate" : "at 17:00 on Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed",
    "recurrentEndDate"   : "at 08:00 on Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed",
    "isWorking"          : false
}

That literally enumerates Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed non-working periods. And missed Thu and Fri become non-working due this interval:

{
    "recurrentStartDate" : "at 17:00 on Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed",
    "recurrentEndDate"   : "at 08:00 on Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed",
    "isWorking"          : false
}

On Wed it starts at 17:00 and finishes at 08:00 at the next matching day from the list which is Sat.
