Select Holidays Setting on Workflow Templates
Select the setting you need for Holidays on the Workflow Template. This will tell the Workflow whether or not to count a Holiday in the Expected Completion Date and the Next Scheduled Date for recurring Workflows.
There are three options for Holidays:
Allow--The Holiday will count as a regular business day for the Workflow
Set to Previous Business Day--Workflow Manager will count the business day prior to the Holiday for the Next Scheduled Date or Expected Completion Date
Set to Next Business Day--Workflow Manager will count the next business day after the Holiday for the Next Scheduled Date or Expected Completion Date
You can set a different Holidays setting for each Workflow Template. This allows greater flexibility in the scheduling of your Workflows.
