Calendar Rules Problem

Question

I am trying to set up Calendar rules so that my deadlines should move ahead on those days(mostly weekends). I made a calender rule and added it to my organization. In the due transition, i also added use calendar rules. Now if I am correct all participants in that organization should have their deadlines move to Monday and not Saturday, Sunday. Please guide me if I am correct. This is not working as I still see my deadlines on Saturday and Sunday

Hi,
First set the calendar properly with Saturday and Sunday unchecked while declaring the calendar.
Then you have to have some logic to set the deadline so that it will skip the Saturday and Sunday.
Please find the logic below and do the necessary changes according to your requirement.
Method: setDeadline(startDate: Time, sla: Int, calendarName: String): (Input - Date of creation, SLA, calendar name)
//It will skip saturday, sunday and holiday that you defined in your calendar
CalendarRule.fetch(calendarName : calendarName, out calendarRule : calendarRule)
start as Time
memday as Time
start = startDate
memday = start
count as Int
count = 0
if sla > 0 then
     while count < sla do     
if (isHoliday(calendarRule, time : start) == false &&
isWorkDate(calendarRule, time : start) == true) then     
               count = count + 1
          end               
          start = start + '1d'     
end
     start = start - '1d'
end
return start
hope it help you.
