BPM Project Navigator then choose Organization context menuOpenCalendars

Use to view a list of existing calendar rules in a project. Each calendar rule is identified by a name.

Also use to create, modify, and delete calendar rules. To add a new calendar rule, click to use a dialog to enter a name for the calendar rule. To remove a calendar rule, select the calendar rule name in the list and click . To modify the details of a calendar rule, select the calendar rule name.

Calendar rules can be associated with organizational units, and each organizational unit can have a different calendar rule associated with it. This enables the engine to calculate deadlines according to the time zones and work schedules of the organizational unit where the processes are deployed.

The calendar rule associated with an organizational unit does not affect the time zone used to display information to participants in that organizational unit. The time zone used to display dates in Workspace can be unique for each user.

To determine which calendar rule to apply, the engine looks for the organizational unit where the process of the instance being executed is deployed. If the engine finds no calendar rule for the organizational unit, then it looks in the upper levels of the organizational hierarchy until it finds one. If the engine finds no calendar rule, then it assumes that all days are working days.

The engine takes into account both the calendar rule associated with the organizational unit where the process is deployed and the activity role where the instance is running.

The engine evaluates the calendar rule set at the role level first. This rule overrides any rules defined for the organizational unit. More

Additional calendar rule information

When you select a calendar rule in the list, details of the calendar rule appear below the list.

Calendar rules define the work hours, time zone, and holiday rule assignment for organizational units. They also determine the scheduling of activity deadlines. Multiple calendar rules can be created as needed for different organizational units -- for example: day shift, night shift, east coast, west coast. How?
