Workflow escalation rules

Rees Howel

Is it possible to define rules for task escalation which skip weekends yet?

I found an old thread (5 years old) which says No, but plenty has changed since then.

I've been asked to set up a PO Approval workflow which escalates if a task isn't dealt with within 48 hours.  So any workflows initiated on Friday afternoon are late by Sunday evening which seems unreasonable.  I can't be the first to think of this.  How are others handling this situation?

Thanks

I don't think it's possible even now. You may apply logic in source application to skip weekends and use Due date option to escalate the task. I would be happy to see any standard option to skip weekends in escalation.
