Introduction
JobScheduler Calendars allow a standard working week to be combined with dates that regularly occur and dates such as national and other holidays to form an accurate representation of a complex business year.
The use case described in this article shows how such a combination may be configured within a single Working Day Calendar. The advantages and disadvantages of using a single Working Day Calendar in comparison with the use of separate Working and Non-Working day Calendars have already been described in the Calendar Use Cases - Managing Working Day Calendars article.
