Hai Oleg,
I have a question related to http://robotask.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... days#p1815.
We have a task which runs every day, except the weekends. But, the task should not be executed on a holiday. Ofcourse, Robotask doesn't know when a holiday "takes place", so I solved it by a simple If date = DD-MM-YYYY then stop task. Works fine, but I have to edit it every time a new holiday will come.
For sure there is an option that he checks a text or XML file for any content (= holidays for a whole year) and if the date of today is a date which is in the file mentioned, he should stop the task.
Can you please explain ?
Check for holiday
Re: Check for holiday
See this example (see below):
You can create the list of holidays and simply stop the task if today is holiday date.
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
You can create the list of holidays and simply stop the task if today is holiday date.
Code: Select all
