TimeOut -> Only on business days.

Does anyone have an example of the user action node only timing out on a business day?

A qualifying question I have, is are you attempting to make sure a 5 day timeout ends on a M-F? or are you attempting to Time out in 5 business days. (Values given are just examples)

Both would be done using the javascript editor set that variable based on the System day (not date) Sunday = 0 Saturday = 6. But the logic in the node would differ depending on the answer to the above question.

var currentDate = new Date();

var weekday = currentDate.getDay();

var TimeOutDays;

switch (weekday){

case 0:

TimeOutDays = 3; //mon,tues,wed

break;

case 1:

TimeOutDays = 3; //tues,wed,thur

break;

case 2:

TimeOutDays = 3 //wed,thurs/fri

break;

case 3:

TimeOutDays = 5; //thurs,fri,sat,sun,mon

break;

case 4:

TimeOutDays = 5; // fri,sat,sun,mon,tues

break;

case 5:

TimeOutDays = 5; //sat,sun,mon,tues,wed

break;

case 6:

TimeOutDays = 4; //sun,mon,tues,wed,

break;

default:

TimeOutDays = 3; //should never get used.

}

NOTE: You could likely write this is a bunch of different ways simply using math with dates if you know exactly what you are looking for. But the above example should get you going in the easiest fashion
