Hi,

 

I want to create a workflow that runs several times a day but only on the working days (monday to friday). I tried to fill scheduler with different options and see preview schedule but it looks it does take into account only the one option at the time and is not possibile to make any combine configuration.

Hello gabrieleg615679,

 

You may use Test activity after the scheduler to run the workflow multiple times only on weekdays.

 

The Formula that you should use is : Lower(DateFormat(GetDate() ,'%A')) == 'sat' OR  Lower(DateFormat(GetDate() ,'%A')) == 'sun'.

 

By using the above formula Test transaction will point to End Activity(for Saturday and Sunday) and default transaction will point to your workflow(for Monday to Friday)

We tried this function "WeekDay(GetDate())=6" on a test after the scheduler but we receive this message of error
