Calculating Business Days in Nextworld (Excluding Weekends and Holidays)

Nextworld Platform
1

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to calculate dates in the Nextworld platform while taking both weekends and holidays into account?

For example, if we need to add a specific number of business days to a date, we would like to exclude Saturdays, Sundays, and recognized holidays from the calculation.

Is there any built-in functionality, formula, or recommended approach in Nextworld to handle this?

This should be possible by setting up a Calendar which defines Events for recognized holidays and then in a logic block:

  • Build Date Event Criteria to identify which dates are holidays.
  • Use the Find Date action:
    • to add specific number of days - specify an Offset Days in Additional Parameters
    • set Exclude Days to SA and SU
    • set Excluded Event Criteria to that previously defined.

I can’t say I’ve done this recently. Here’s where Nextworld help touches on this: Application development - Nextworld Documentation
