Supported Duration format in Availability Pattern REST API

Content

Hi All

We are using Availability Pattern REST API to capture available time of the employees for booking absence.

All the employees are assigned to elapsed schedule. we are passing duration in the payload as decimal value.

Is it possible to pass the duration in hours and minutes as we notice some mismatch while converting hh:mm into decimal value?

Sample payload:

{
  "PersonNumber": "80987xxxx",
  "AssignmentNumber": "E80987xxxx-1",
  "AvailabilityType": "Contractual Availability - GB",
  "DateFrom": "2020-09-01",
  "shifts": [
    {
      "PatternException": "PATTERN",
      "DayOfWeek": "2",
      "Duration": "6.5"
    },
    {
      "PatternException": "PATTERN",
      "DayOfWeek": "3",
      "Duration": "7.5"
    },
    {
      "PatternException": "PATTERN",
      "DayOfWeek": "4",
      "Duration": "12"
    },
    {
      "PatternException": "PATTERN",
