Greetings!

So I've ran into some old filters that are using artime to calculate time 
differences.  I read up on the BMC ARS 9.1 documentation to try to wrap my head 
around Business Time 2.0.  Here's what I've done.


- Created a Level 1 Business Time Segment titled "Work_Day" that runs from 
8:00am - 8:30pm, recurring weekly on Monday - Friday.

- Created a Level 2 segment titled "Pre_Shift" that runs from 12:00:00am to 
7:59:59am with the aforementioned recurrence.

- Created a Level 2 segment titled "Post_Shift" that runs from 8:30:01pm to end 
of day with the aforementioned recurrence.

- Created a Level 10 segment called "Holidays_2017" that lists specific dates 
and is set as unavailable.


The command used in Set Fields is:


$PROCESS$ Application-Bus-Time2-Diff "$Arrival Time$" "$Resolved Time$" 
"Work_Day" "Pre_Shift" "Post_Shift" "Holidays_2017"


It seems to work.  However, it looks like I forgot to include a time segment 
for the weekends.  Here are my questions.


1)  Aside from the recurring weekend time segment that I forgot, does it appear 
that I have things set up correctly?


2)  In order to take into consideration all of the unavailable times, do I need 
to include the name of each time segment in the Set Fields command?  I fully 
expect to have to create another segment with new holidays around the beginning 
of next year.  There are also times when offices are closed due to things like 
inclement weather.  I was hoping to have some level 3 or 4 segments that I 
would like to have considered as well, but not have to update the filter each 
time one is added.


I hope this all makes sense.


Thanks!
