Assigning Holidays
You can create an unlimited number of holidays. You can specify holidays By Date or By
Day.
 Select By Date for holidays that repeat on the same date (or do not repeat). Enter a
fixed date in the format mm/dd/yyyy and a description. Leave the Year field blank for
holidays that repeat each year, such as Christmas and New Years Day.
 Select By Day to specify holidays that occur on a certain weekday in the month such
as Labor Day which is celebrated on the first Monday in September in the US.
Holidays that are specified by week day apply to all years in the report interval.
Descriptions may be any string and are for your convenience only. They do not appear on
billing reports, are not used as script variables, and do not need to be unique.
When you create a new rate schedule, no holidays are defined.
Holidays are evaluated by the line item scripts as DayType.NonWorkingDay. For defining
non-working days that repeat weekly, use the Non-Working Days tab in the Edit Rate Plan
window.
Assign Time of Use Periods
You can create an unlimited number of Time of Use (TOU) periods.
The Times of Use tab lets you define TOU periods which may then be referenced in line
item scripts. This provides a simple, fill-in-the-blanks way to specify and maintain the rate
start and end times.
TOU period names should be unique and follow common naming conventions.
