Don't forget that DayOfWeekRange is a range - so the DayOfWeekRange unions
aren't needed.
Also keep in mind that the calendar views will default to the length of the
displayed period (all day / all week) if you don't set an event/task length.
This is what your temporal expression should look like -
Union:
Intersection:
HourRange(08,08) [HOUR_08]
MinuteRange(00,00) [MINUTE_00]
DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Tuesday) [create SAT_THRU_TUE]
Intersection:
HourRange(12,12) [HOUR_12]
MinuteRange(00,00) [MINUTE_00]
DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday) [SAT_TO_SUN]
Intersection:
HourRange(16,16) [HOUR_16]
MinuteRange(00,00) [MINUTE_00]
DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday) [SAT_TO_SUN]
I tried that expression on my local copy. I set the work effort's estimated
milliseconds to one hour. All three views displayed correctly.
