How to create Business Calendar and used in Datetime Property control to greyout holidays
Hi,
I have a requirement to create a Business calendar reflecting working days. The calendar must not include weekends (saturday + sunday) as well as holidays as working days. The list of holiday must be made available as configurable by user. This Business calendar has to be configured on Date Time control property. Once it is configured the Date time control has to gray out the holiday list. Is there any OOTB control is available? How to implement and configure the holiday list on date control to gray out. what are the approaches?

Hello,
you can change the default calender to business calender by opening the cell properties of that calender control on the section and Open the Presentation tab then enable the checkbox "Disable Weekends" in Weeks and Dates. Thereafter you can mention the custom holidays in the closing days in the schedule tab by opening the default calender rule and mention the holidays in the Closed Days to grey out those dates on the calender control.

Hi,
Try entering the Date format as YYYYMMDD in the Closed Days or try using the @(Pega-RULES:BusinessCalendar).addDays function for on change action set.
