System Week Start Day configuration

Specifies the first day of the week. This setting is only used for the This Week, Last Week, and Next Week date selections in the Daily Timesheet and Supervisor Approval Worksheet. For example, if the first day of the week is set to Thursday, then the week displayed in the timesheet and SAW starts on Thursday and ends on Wednesday.

Note: Other areas of the application use the DAY_WEEK_STARTS registry parameter to determine the first day of the week. This is a global setting that applies to all employees, regardless of locale.

If this value is blank for a locale, the value specified for the English locale is used by default.

To use the locale-based configuration, you must also configure the relevant date selections to use new classes on the Date Selections page (Maintenance > Payroll Settings > Advanced Payroll Settings > Date Selections).

For these date selections, you must use the corresponding class:

This Week: com.workbrain.app.jsp.action.dateselection.UserLocaleBasedThisWeek
Last Week: com.workbrain.app.jsp.action.dateselection.UserLocaleBasedLastWeek
Next Week: com.workbrain.app.jsp.action.dateselection.UserLocaleBasedNextWeek

For the This Week and Last Week date selections, you can either create a new entry on the Date Selections page referencing the new class or update the existing entry to use the new class. If you create a new entry, ensure that the Active and Daily Timesheet check boxes are selected. We recommend you disable the existing entry by clearing the Active check box.

To use the Next Week date selection, you must create a new entry on the Date Selections page referencing the new class. For the new entry, ensure that the Active and Daily Timesheet check boxes are selected.

Valid values:: Any day of the week.

Default value in the system if you do not specify a value:: Monday
