Introduction
Office Working Hour Deadline Plugin is an essential addition to the working environment where SLAs and deadlines are implemented.
This plugin will intercept and override how calculations are made by Joget when calculating due dates for SLAs and deadlines imposed on a process.
The Office Working Hour Deadline plugin takes the following into account during calculations:
- Holidays
- Working Hours
- Working Days
