Date Part Logic Block

Description

The Date Part Logic Block brings contextual calendar information to Logic Rules. It can be configured to trend any calendar parameter in numeric form and hence allows for the creation of rules, whose behaviour depends on whether it is a workday or a weekend, Summer or Winter, etc.

Functionality

The Date Part Logic Block outputs a data series with a configurable sampling rate, where the value is the calendar parameter of interest.

Block Configuration

The Date Part Logic Block can be easily configured by specifying the following parameters:
