Is there a way to get the day of the week from a date? I'm sure there is an easy javascript function to do it, but would I have to add it to some js lib so process flow would provide it?

Open up pflow.js with notepad (this is located both in your client and server) and do the following:
1. You'll see bunch of lines with // ***function definition //. Insert the following as the last of the group:

//*****Function Definition -->getWeekDate(var1) //

2. insert the following at the very end :

/************************************************************
Function: getWeekDate

Purpose: returns the Day of the week
************************************************************/
function getWeekDate(jsDate1)
{
var WeekDays= ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"];
whatDay=jsDate1.getDay();
return whatDay=WeekDays[whatDay];

}


Note: in your process flow your variable will look like this:

string WeekName=getWeekDate()

Hope this help

Here is another way to get the day of the week in abbreviated mode (Mon,Tue,Wed,Thr...):
In your 'START' node, add the following variables:
1. TodayString (Type=String) = today()
2. DayOfWeek (Type = String) = substring(vTodayString, 0,4)
