Promotion Schedule Import/Export

All promotion classes support an optional promotion schedule that controls when a promotion is active.

The following is a snippet from the Promotion Schedule section of the promotion.xsd.

<xsd:complexType name="PromotionSchedule" mixed="false">
  <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="start-date" type="xsd:dateTime" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
    <xsd:element name="end-date" type="xsd:dateTime" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
    <xsd:element name="recurrence" type="PromotionSchedule.Recurrence" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
  </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="PromotionSchedule.Recurrence" mixed="false">
  <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="day-of-week" type="PromotionSchedule.DayOfWeek" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
    <xsd:element name="time-of-day" type="PromotionSchedule.TimeOfDay" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
  </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

This sample XML contains a schedule for the month of January (see start end date) that limits promotions to Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 9 AM and 7 PM (on those days).
