Business weeks and business hours

PolicyCenter can accommodate your business schedule by specifying your exact work week and hours. For example, the normal business hours of an insurer begin on Monday and end on Saturday. For this insurer, you configure PolicyCenter to have the hours from Monday to Friday begin at 8 a.m and end at 7 p.m. For Saturday, you configure the business hours to begin at 10 a.m and end at 2 p.m.

The config.xml file contains business calendar parameters. PolicyCenter applies these parameters system-wide. These parameters are the default values.

The business calendar parameters enable you to specify:

  • For each day of the week, whether it is a business day. For example, to make Monday a business day, set IsMondayBusinessDay to true.
  • The time that each business day starts and ends. Set BusinessDayStart and BusinessDayEnd.
  • The day that is the end of the business week. Set BusinessWeekEnd.
  • The time that marks the start of a new business day. Set BusinessDayDemarcation.
