Working Days tell SmartSuite which days and hours your organization works, so scheduling and business-day calculations follow them. The default is Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Administrators change it in Workspace Administration > Workspace Settings > Working Days. The setting applies to the whole workspace.
Example: a compliance team works Monday to Thursday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Its Administrator sets those days and hours, so business-day calculations on control test due dates skip Fridays.
