Time zone and server settings

Under time zone, we can select in which time zone the server is located. This should sync the time with the time zone. If we’re using any special time servers, use the correct time zone server url under Time server setting.

NOTE: If we’re using a Jigsaw server, leave the time server field empty.

Working days

Users can use simple table to define working and free days. These working days can be used for additional functionality and can also be used for triggers and conditions.

Vacations

Users can add vacations to their configuration. Using the Add button in Vacation tab, users can select the start and end date of their vacation. Multiple vacations can be added. These vacation days can be used for additional functionality and can also be used for triggers and conditions.

Holidays

Specific holidays can be added in Holidays tab. User can import or export holidays. Each holiday can be named, timed (specific day, multiple days..) and they can also be repeated every year. These holidays can be used for additional functionality and can also be used for triggers and conditions. In the future, clients will be able to set holidays and other time settings in the bOS Client app itself.
