1. Feature Overview
Workday templates define your organization’s schedule and working hours across the Sales Cloud and Service Cloud platforms. This enables automatic user check-ins and allow you to set the timezone, working days, and office hours for your users.
Once created, you can assign the templates to Teams and Service Groups. So if you have multiple teams working different shifts in different regions, all you have to do is create the appropriate work day templates and apply them to your teams.

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.
