Scripting - Days Question ID 109 Category >Support   Scripting Date Created 2/26/2007 2:58:23 PM Date Updated 12/1/2015 2:05:03 PM Can you script for a specific day of the week? Answer Yes you can script for a rule to only happen on specific days of the week. Here is an example: if ("U" contains weekday (punchdate)) { category = "Sunday"; } Here are what the days of the week are set to be: M- Monday T- Tuesday W- Wednesday R- Thursday F- Friday S- Saturday U- Sunday You can combine them like this: if("MTWRF" contains weekday(punchdate)) { whatever; } This would apply what ever condition or rule to Monday through Friday. Another example would be if there is a rate change for a particular day. In this example we will use Thursday and state that if it is Thursday they get time and a half (1.5) for any hours worked that day: if ("R" contains weekday (punchdate)) { payrate = payrate * 1.5; } Another is maybe to change the category like: if ("SU" contains weekday (punchdate)) { category = "Weekend Shift"; } the above looks for any punches on Saturday (S) or Sunday (U) and if there are any then change the category to "Weekend Shift".
