Hi Frank,

I had a similar issue once and created fields for 'Shift', with values
like 'Shift 1', 'Shift 2'etc. (including weekends) on the User form (or
you could use a work schedule form) and had workflow to check which
Shift range the timestamp fell into and then looked up active users
(Assignees) on that shift.  The WEEKDAY function is helpful in
determining the day of the week.

Hope this helps,

Sylvia Holy

Subject: Time Scheduling

Task: Build a form (or forms) to hold a list of users and the hours they
start and end their work day (24 hour clock): ie 08:00-17:00 or
22:00-0600.
Do not want to store times for each day of the week. For each ticket
submitted search the list of users and find one that is available at the
time the ticket is being created. This means matching the current time
between the start and end times for each user.

Logically this sounded simple enough but the problem I'm having is when
a
ticket is submitted at say 3am. I have qualitication that is checking to
see
if the current time is between the start and end time for a user. So, if
it
is  16:00 and the user works 08:00 to 17:00 they are included. However,
if
is 02:00 and the users schedule spans two days, 22:00 one day till 06:00
the
next, the qualification fails.

I feel there is a simple solution to this issue but cannot sem to come
up
with it. I though of just creating mutiple entries for certain users
whose
schedule spans two days, one for 22:00 to 23:59 and one for 00:00 -
06:00,
but was hoping someone had another thought.

Thank you
