Using Factory Calendar

[Rick Bakker]

Hello Hari,

Normally you would create a method that makes use of that object. If
you pass 3 as a parameter you get July 1st, if you pass 5 you get July
3rd (for example).
These can be bound back to separate container element in your workflow.

regards
Rick Bakker
