Scheduled Jobs

[nlopez4]

Hey all!

I have to update a scheduled job to run periodically (every 80 days) while excluding weekends. However, if the 80th day falls on a weekend, I need the job to run on the first weekday immediately after. The "Conditional" checkbox is selected, "Periodically" is selected in the "Run" field, and "Repeat Interval" is set to 80 days.

My question is - will the scheduled job run on the first weekday following a weekend automatically if the weekend is skipped, or do I have to include something in my script to accomplish that?

Please see my current script below. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

var result = true;

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

var day = gdt.getDayOfWeekLocalTime(); //The day of week value from 1 to 7. Monday equals 1, Sunday equals 7.

if (day == 6 || day == 7)

result = false;

result;

HI @nlopez4 ,
I trust you are doing great.
Please find the updated code .

var result = true;
var gdt = new GlideDateTime();

// Get the day of the week (1=Monday, 7=Sunday)
var day = gdt.getDayOfWeekLocalTime();

// Check if today is Saturday (6) or Sunday (7)
if (day == 6 || day == 7) {
    // Calculate days to add (1 day if Sunday, 2 days if Saturday)
    var daysToAdd = (day == 7) ? 1 : 2;

    // Add the days to the current date
    gdt.addDaysLocalTime(daysToAdd);

    // Schedule the job for the next weekday
    current.setValue('next_action', gdt.getValue());
    result = false;
}

result;
