First Day of a Week

Question

Our week starts on Sunday, how we can change UniTime to display time patterns and others starting on Sunday?

Answer

There are a few configuration parameters (that can be set on the Administration > Defaults > Configuration page, or in the custom properties) that change the display so that a week starts on Sunday.

• Time Patterns: First day of week (0 is Monday, 1 is Tuesday, etc.)
  • unitime.timePattern.firstDayOfWeek=6
• Events Time Grid: First day of the week (0 is Monday, 1 is Tuesday, etc.)
  • unitime.events.gridStartDay=6
• Timetable Grid: First day of week (0 is Monday, 1 is Tuesday, etc.)
  • unitime.timeGrid.startDay=6
• Timetable Grid: Create an additional option in the Days drop-down from Sunday to Thursday
  • unitime.timeGrid.days14=1111001\|Sunday - Thursday
  • There is one property for each available option starting with 1, the format is bitmap|name

And in the solver configuration, the following two parameters need to be created in the General Settings section on the Administration > Solver > Parameters page and set as follows:

1) First Day of a Week

Name: General.FirstWorkDay
Description: First Day of Week (0..Monday, 1..Tuesday,...)
Type: integer
Default: 6

2) Last Work Day of a Week

Name: General.LastWorkDay
Description: Last Work Day of Week (0..Monday, 1..Tuesday,...)
Type: integer
Default: 4
