The Business Hours configuration defines working hours and holidays primarily for use in calendaring and scheduling. The AdvoLogix platform allows organizations to configure multiple Business Hours definitions to support multiple business locations or court jurisdictions.
1. Business Hours Configuration
The AdvoLogix platform allows organizations to configure multiple Business Hours definitions to support one or more business locations or court jurisdictions. Holidays are a key aspect of the Business Hours configuration. Holidays are defined globally (outside the scope of Business Hours) and subsequently applied to applicable Business Hours configurations. This allows each Business Hours configuration to share holidays and/or have a unique set of holidays specific to the use case for a given Business Hours configuration.
