Scheduling workflows on Alteryx server needs business date option

Question

Recently ran into an issue where I'm trying to schedule monthly workflows and the only date option is calendar dates. It would be very useful to have an option to schedule workflows based on business dates to avoid running the risk of sending incomplete/stale data. Are there any workarounds to this?

The workaround is to have the rule built in the workflow, using a reference table with your business days. Then you can schedule it to run everyday, if it’s a business day it will send the data.
