Examples

These examples assume that only Saturday and Sunday are free days, and the workday end time in the calendar is 06.00. You have specified EVERY DAY in WEEK 21 on the MODIFYING A RULE panel. Effect of the input arrival time and the free-day rule shows the generated days for different combinations of free-day rule and input arrival time.
