Show Messages for Insufficient Rest Periods

The WFM_TDR_VALIDATE_REST_PERIOD_DURATION_AP formula, which uses array processing, is associated with the delivered Compare Rest Between Time Events Template rule template.

The fast formula compares the end and start times of consecutive reported time entries identified by the time category of the rest period. If the interim time is less than the defined rest period, the corresponding defined message appears. If no message is defined, the default message appears. The message severity is an output value associated with the displayed message.
