Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
I have a working hours set to 8:30 AM to 7PM EST, it should calculate only these hours for business days and remaining non working hours or non business days should not calculate.Example: requests submitted only calculate from monday-friday 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM ET.
Earlier we had a plugin called calendar functions but now its archived, is there any other alternative way to do?

Hi anushak497885
You can set the working hours from process calendar.
calworkhours( gmt(datetime(2025, 04, 17, 08, 30, 00)), gmt(datetime(2025, 04, 17, 19, 00, 00)), "ET Calendar")this should give 10.5 hours which is (630 minutes) but its giving 11 hours.
As per the documentation, this function returns an integer number. If this does not fit your requirements, you might have to look for a plugin.
If you want minutes there is plugin available called "Calendar Functions" in that you have a function called "calworkminutesplugin".
This plugin is deprecated and should not be used anymore.
you’re right it’s deprecated and we can’t use that plug-in. Any alternative way?
I found this thread, see if you can use it
