Name your Validation

The title is just for internal use and it will not be shown to your customer.
Configure your restriction message and save

Then select from the dropdown menu where to show the message from the validation.
Now enter a customer-facing message that clearly explains the temporary restriction if a shopper triggers the rule during the active dates.
You can visualize the final message in the preview window on the right.
Add the Weekday range condition

Scroll down to the "Choose function input", click Standard input and select Date input from the dropdown menu.
After the Function input move don to "Set condition to run this customization", hit Add condition, click the condition field "Cart total" and select Weekday Range from the condition parameter options.
