Scheduling user's week using Temporal Expressions

Vikas Mayur-2
Hi,

First of all sorry for the long post.

I was working on a problem where I have to schedule a week per user. The
schedule of all the upcoming weeks remains the same until user do any
changes. A day of the week is divided into 3 slots namely Morning, Afternoon
and Evening.

User may or may not be available on a particular slot on a particular day of
the week. I need to capture this data for every customer in the system.

The data will be used by the administrator to send invitation to those user
that are available on the same slot on a particular day.

For this I  have divided 12 hrs schedule of a day into three slots of 4 hrs
namely a Morning slot from 0800hr 1200hr, afternoon slot from 1200hr to
1600hr and evening slot from 1600hr to 2000hr.

Then I created the schedule for a user as below.

Union:
    Difference: // RESULT: User is available in morning slot on Saturday and
Sunday only.
        Include:
            Intersection: // User is available in morning slot for entire
week.
                    MinuteRange(0, 0)
                    HourRange(08, 08) // Starts at 0800hr
                    DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday)
        Exclude:
            Intersection: // User is not available in morning slot from
Monday thru Friday
                DayOfWeekRange(Monday, Friday)
    Difference: // User is available in afternoon slots on Saturday and
Sunday only.
        Include:
            Intersection:
                    MinuteRange(0, 0)
                    HourRange(12, 12) // Starts at 1200hr
                    DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday)
        Exclude:
            Intersection:
                DayOfWeekRange(Monday, Friday)
    Difference: // User is available in evening slot for entire week except
on Saturday and Sunday.
        Include:
            Intersection:
                    MinuteRange(0, 0)
                    HourRange(16, 16) // Starts at 1600hr
                    DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday)
        Exclude:
            Intersection:
                DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Saturday)
                DayOfWeekRange(Sunday, Sunday)


When I see the schedule in the Work Effort > Calendar,  the calendar is only
showing up event for Saturday and Sunday (user is available in morning and
afternoon slots on these two days and which is correct) and not for rest of
the week days. The calendar should have also shown that user is available
from Monday to Friday in evening slot.

I also tried with the simple way as below but the results being different
and not as expected as mentioned.

Union:
       Intersection:
                MinuteRange(0, 0)
                HourRange(08, 08) // Starts at 0800hr
                DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday) // Saturday and Sunday user
is available in morning slot.
            Intersection:
                    MinuteRange(0, 0)
                    HourRange(12, 12) // Starts at 1200hr
                    DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday) // Saturday and Sunday
user is available in afternoon slot.
            Intersection:
                    MinuteRange(0, 0)
                    HourRange(16, 16) // Starts at 1600hr
                    DayOfWeekRange(Monday, Friday)  // Monday thru Friday
user is available in evening slot.


In XML the data is below (using the first approach)

    <!-- Entire week morning available -->
    <TemporalExpression tempExprId="MORNING_AVAIL"
tempExprTypeId="INTERSECTION"/>
    <TemporalExpressionAssoc fromTempExprId="MORNING_AVAIL"

I have no idea where I am doing it wrong since second approach is a very
simple (at least I was expecting correct result with it).

Does anyone have ever setup similar rules based on temporal expressions? OR
I am just struggling with any sort of bugs?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Scheduling user's week using Temporal Expressions

Adrian Crum
There are a few things wrong here.

I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of difference. A difference
is a logical AND NOT. So, the exclude expression should be temporally
included in the include expression. Example: Include Monday through
Friday, but exclude Wednesday under certain conditions.

You can't use a difference expression to indicate when a user is not
available. That isn't its purpose.

User availability is called transparency in Work Effort. So, you need to
set up two work efforts - one for when the user is available, and one
for when the user isn't available. Set each work effort's transparency
accordingly. Then create two temporal expressions - one for available
and one for not available. Then assign those expressions to the
appropriate work efforts.

The calendar should show the two schedules. You can then write code
around the transparency.

Thanks Adrian,

I better understand the transparency concept now. I did not use it yet but the word has always intrigued me.

Re: Scheduling user's week using Temporal Expressions

Vikas Mayur-2
In reply to this post by Adrian Crum
Hi Adrian,

Thanks for your reply. Now I have the calender schedule setup to certain
extent. May be you can tell me If I am wrong again.

I tested it with two schedules basically.

1. A customer is available on Morning, Afternoon and Evening on Saturday and
Sunday. The schedule in all view (day, week, month) of the calender is
showing up correctly. I set up this as following.

Union:
    Intersection:
            HourRange(08,00)
            MinuteRange(00,00)
            Union:
                DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Saturday)
                DayOfWeekRange(Sunday, Sunday)
    Intersection:
            HourRange(12,00)
            MinuteRange(00,00)
            Union:
                DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Saturday)
                DayOfWeekRange(Sunday, Sunday)
    Intersection:
            HourRange(16,00)
            MinuteRange(00,00)
            Union:
                DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Saturday)
                DayOfWeekRange(Sunday, Sunday)


2. I extended this schedule to include Monday and Tuesday morning slot so
added these days in the union expression for morning.

Union:
    Intersection:
            HourRange(08,00)
            MinuteRange(00,00)
            Union:
                DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Saturday)
                DayOfWeekRange(Sunday, Sunday)
                DayOfWeekRange(Monday, Monday)
                DayOfWeekRange(Tuesday, Tuesday)
    Intersection:
            HourRange(12,00)
            MinuteRange(00,00)
            Union:
                DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Saturday)
                DayOfWeekRange(Sunday, Sunday)
    Intersection:
            HourRange(16,00)
            MinuteRange(00,00)
            Union:
                DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Saturday)
                DayOfWeekRange(Sunday, Sunday)

Results:
1. Month view is coming fine i.e. event is showing up on Saturday, Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday.
2. Week view - Event is not showing up for Sunday but is coming fine for
rest of the three days.
3. Day view - Monday 8 AM is only showing up.

Expected:
#2 - Event should show up on Sunday as well in week view.
#3 - Event should show up on Tuesday 8 AM and on all the three slots for
Saturday and Sunday in day view.

Either again I am not setting up it correctly or this could be a problem
with the events not rendered correctly on the calendar.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Regards
Vikas

Re: Scheduling user's week using Temporal Expressions

Adrian Crum-2
Don't forget that DayOfWeekRange is a range - so the DayOfWeekRange unions aren't needed.

Also keep in mind that the calendar views will default to the length of the displayed period (all day / all week) if you don't set an event/task length.

This is what your temporal expression should look like -

Union:
  Intersection:
    HourRange(08,08)  [HOUR_08]
    MinuteRange(00,00)  [MINUTE_00]
    DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Tuesday)  [create SAT_THRU_TUE]
  Intersection:
    HourRange(12,12)  [HOUR_12]
    MinuteRange(00,00)  [MINUTE_00]
    DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday)  [SAT_TO_SUN]
  Intersection:
    HourRange(16,16)  [HOUR_16]
    MinuteRange(00,00)  [MINUTE_00]
    DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday)  [SAT_TO_SUN]

I tried that expression on my local copy. I set the work effort's estimated milliseconds to one hour. All three views displayed correctly.

Re: Scheduling user's week using Temporal Expressions

Vikas Mayur-2
Hi Adrian,

Thanks for your reply again. I tested the schedule with a similar expression
as you mentioned but with a small change to the day of week range as below.

Morning - DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday) [SAT_TO_SUN]
Afternoon- DayOfWeekRange(Saturday, Sunday) [SAT_TO_SUN]
Evening - DayOfWeekRange(Monday, Friday) [MON_TO_FRI]

Every thing worked fine except again the day and week view for Sunday is not
showing up.

Also regarding keeping unions in the DayOfWeekRange was to make the
expression a little more flexible.

For example if a user selects Monday, Tuesday and Friday for morning
availability (and not consecutive days) then following the example in one of
your tutorials (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Temporal+Expressions)
the expression for morning schedule would be

 Intersection:
   HourRange(08,08)  [HOUR_08]
   MinuteRange(00,00)  [MINUTE_00]
   Union:
       DayOfWeekRange(Monday, Tuesday)  [create MON_THRU_TUE]
       DayOfWeekRange(Friday, Friday)

OR

 Intersection:
   HourRange(08,08)  [HOUR_08]
   MinuteRange(00,00)  [MINUTE_00]
   Union:
       DayOfWeekRange(Monday, Monday)
       DayOfWeekRange(Tuesday, Tuesday)
       DayOfWeekRange(Friday, Friday)

But with the above expression the schedule (keeping the expression for
Afternoon and Evening as same) is not evaluating correctly on the calendar.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Regards
Vikas

Re: Scheduling user's week using Temporal Expressions

Adrian Crum
Mon, Tue, Fri at 8 AM Temporal Expression:

https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/editTemporalExpression?tempExprId=MON_TUE_FRI_08

The Work Effort:

https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/workeffort/control/EditWorkEffort?workEffortId=10015

The Calendar:

https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/workeffort/control/calendar?period=month

Everything works as expected as far as I can tell.

Re: Scheduling user's week using Temporal Expressions

Vikas Mayur-2
Hi Adrian,

Thanks for checking.

The individual expression works fine. The problem occurs only when I created
a complete schedule.

I have also created an example schedule -
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/editTemporalExpression?tempExprId=WEEK_SCHEDULE

Work Effort -
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/workeffort/control/EditWorkEffort?workEffortId=10016<https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/workeffort/control/EditWorkEffort?workEffortId=10015>

Every thing is working fine except the day view.

On demo instance the things are much better and working as expected.

Do not know why it does not work correctly on my local copy.

Anyway thanks for your help all the way through.

Regards
Vikas
