Next Gen doesn't have holiday calendar?

[sumire]

I am studying about Next Gen.

I can not find holiday calendar in Next Gen documents.

Does Next Gen not have holiday calendar?

So how does Next Gen find, for example, "3rd business day of each month"?

hello @sumire  yes. seems like current version of Next Gen do not have calendar functionality.

Hello @Neel1 ,

I read that you pasted too and was surprised and came here to post.

Is there anyone who is currently using Next Gen for actual work?
How do you operate without holiday calendar? Is there an alternative function?

I had the opportunity to explore the Next Gen sandbox a few months ago, and I noticed that it still lacks several key features. Additionally, there are currently bugs, so it's unclear when it will be fully ready for widespread, production-level use.

It also seems that the main change is the introduction of a new web-based control room, while many existing elements have simply been renamed. The Design Studio appears largely unchanged from the enterprise version, which makes the overall experience a bit confusing.

got to know from Product Roadmap Webinar which is underway at the time of writing - Calendar support will come  by Q3 2025. lets wait for finer details to come

Hey all ( @sumire, @Tejaskumar_Darji) - I just asked this question for you internally 🙂 

As @Neel1 mentioned, calendar support is scheduled for release in Q3 this year:

"In addition to schedules, the inclusion of customizable calendars, allows you to define both working days and none working days, so that the digital workforce is responsive to your organizational needs. 

You can define and use multiple calendars in parallel, with the automation flows. This is a flexible system, that supports region-specific holidays, maintenance windows, regulatory dates, controlled test environments and off-peak execution."

For more detail - I highly recommend coming along to our Product Roadmap sessions on Intelligent Automation tomorrow 💙

I also registered.

There are many features I want to know about the planned implemention of Next Gen other than holiday calendar.
