Schedule for weekdays only

Hello,

I am new to RoboTask and I am trying to set up task like I had them in my previous scheduler. I need to be able to set up tasks for weekdays only. Is that possible? I don't see an option for that in the scheduler menu.

Thanks!

You can attach Scheduler trigger to your task
See this video how to attach Scheduler to a task

Scheduler triggering event can use such periods:
  • Every day
    Every week
    Every month

Thank you, Oleg. Unfortunately, my company has the video blocked so I will watch from home tonight. I was able to attach a scheduler task, however. I am just wondering if there is a way to set it up to run on business days (no weekends) rather than every day?

I believe I have found a way to do this by using the {DayOfWeekNo} function in an if/then task. I am also trying to create a "Global" Holiday variable to exclude holidays. It seems I can create a local variable that works great, however, If I choose global variable, it doesn't save it anywhere I can find in order to use in other tasks.

You can edit global variables here: menu Options -> Variables and open Global user variables tab
