Date & time check in detail

Each called CheckDate action will perform a sequence of checks to determine if a call falls within the determined range. If one of the checks returns a negative result, CheckDate will send the call to the 'nok' branch. In more detail:

  1. Does the call happen during the chosen Current Month? If so, move on. If not, go to the 'nok' branch.
  2. Does the call happen during or after the chosen First day of the month AND during or before the chosen Last day of the month ? If so, move on. If not, go to the 'nok' branch.
  3. Does the call happen during or after the chosen Start Day AND during or before the chosen Stop Day ? If so, move on. If not, go to the 'nok' branch.
  4. Does the call happen during or after the chosen Start Hour AND during or before the chosen Stop Hour ? If so, move on. If not, go to the 'nok' branch.
