Exclude Weekends as Business Days
Exclude weekends from working days. For Workflow Target dates, weekends are currently included as working days. These should be able to be exclude. So if your workflow has a task that is 4 days before the target date, it would be 4 BUSINESS days before the Target Date. If a meeting is scheduled on a Monday or Tuesday, it doesn't leave many working days to complete the workflow appropriately. This is not ideal.
Redtail’s Product Owner has read the suggestion and there is some internal discussion needed in order to determine next steps. This suggestion is remaining open and can continue to gather votes and comments!

The current weekend/holiday logic makes no sense and causes very unpredictable timing of tasks. You basically need different versions of the same workflow depending on what day of the week they start to get consistent timing!

This would make workflows much more useful and reliable. Otherwise a number of tasks "pile up" on Friday. If you have a 5 step workflow with steps to occur over a number of days, God help you if you have a meeting on, say, Monday morning.
