@SHANNUM17356877 you’ve not given us a lot to go by…

However I’ll provide you with a comprehensive explanation of how to implement this feature in your applications.

Here’s a structured guide on how to work with day of the week functionality in Pega:

  1. Using Date Properties
    • Always use DateTime properties instead of simple Date properties for persistent objects
    • This ensures proper handling across different time zones and work calendars
    • The system provides built-in functions for working with dates
  2. Implementing Day of Week Logic
    • Use the pxDayOfWeek function in when() conditions
    • Returns values 1 (Sunday) through 7 (Saturday)
    • Can be used in decision rules and activities
  3. Practical Examples

For Weekday Check:

when(pxDayOfWeek(property) > 1 and pxDayOfWeek(property) < 7)

For Weekend Check:

when(pxDayOfWeek(property) = 1 or pxDayOfWeek(property) = 7)
  1. Common Use Cases
    • Automating processes for business days only
    • Scheduling activities outside peak hours
    • Implementing different business logic for weekdays vs. weekends
    • Calculating service level agreements (SLAs) based on business days

Additional Considerations:

  • Always account for different time zones when working with dates
  • Consider using work calendars for more complex business day calculations
  • Remember to handle holidays separately from regular weekend checks
  • Test your date logic across different scenarios and time zones
