Hi, if I change my work day template during business working hours and apply it to my teams will that be applicable from same day itself or tomorrow onwards?
Hello, Puja.
The workday template will be reflected on your accounts on the same day.
If I keep start time 10AM and end time as 7AM, then would it take end time on the same day or next day?
Hi, Shobhit. In this scenario, 7AM the next day is considered as the end time.
