Calculate and display the Due date plus 5 days, excluding weekends, in a Calculated Date/Time field
Code Block language groovy linenumbers true Date date(Date from, int nod){ Calendar c1 = GregorianCalendar.getInstance(); c1.setTime(from); int weeks = nod/5; int remDays = nod%5; //Adding whole weeks c1.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, weeks); //Run a loop and check each day to skip a weekend for(int i=1;i<=remDays;i++){ c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); if (c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SATURDAY) c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); if (c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY) c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); } //Skip ending weekend if (c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SATURDAY) c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); if (c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY) c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); //move to 0:00 c1.clearTime(); return c1.getTime(); } date(issue.get("duedate"),5)Calculate the time to resolution excluding weekends and display a message to the customer in a Calculated Text field
Code Block language groovy linenumbers true Date date(Date from, int nod){ Calendar c1 = GregorianCalendar.getInstance(); c1.setTime(from); int weeks = nod/5; int remDays = nod%5; //Adding whole weeks c1.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, weeks); //Run a loop and check each day to skip a weekend for(int i=1;i<=remDays;i++){ c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); if (c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SATURDAY) c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); if (c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY) c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); } //Skip ending weekend if (c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SATURDAY) c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); if (c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY) c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); //move to 0:00 c1.clearTime(); return c1.getTime(); } "Your issue will be resolved on or before " + <%=date(new Date(),10)%>
