Overview

Locations steps are used in a Flow to calculate DateTime for Business days. Users may use these steps for processes that require calculating dates for only Business days, such as dates for meetings, appointments, due dates, etc., that require calculating dates for only Business days.

Prerequisite
Users must configure the Location entity used for the steps discussed in this tutorial. Location entity can be found under System > System Data > Locations. For further information, refer to Configuring Locations.

Example for Compute Business Time For Location Step 

This step calculates a Business date. It will exclude all non-working days and holidays configured for the Location entity.

  2. From the Toolbox tab, navigate to the DATA > DATES category and drag Compute Business Time For Location step to the designer surface. Connect the Start and End steps.
  3. Select the newly added step to configure its Properties panel.
    The inputs will be configured to calculate a date 10 Days after the Start date, excluding Weekends and Holidays for the given Location.
  4. Under INPUTS, map Days to Constant and enter value 10
