This seems like it should be simple, but I can't seem to find the answer. Perhaps I am using the wrong search terms. What I want to do is build a schedule with business hours of 8-12 and 13-17, so scheduled lunch break from 1200-1300. Can I do that with just the regular business hours configuration?

This is a huge short coming in the PCCE hours of operations. Another method could be to look at two schedules Business and Lunch, which in my mind is a bit more straight forward. Ultimately, these are just workarounds and another angle to Janine's suggestion.

Hi Elliot,
Unfortunately there is no straight way to configure lunch time in Business Hours settings in the Web Admin or SPOG. I agree with @janinegraves that you can split your schedule to two intervals. Another workaround is to use one Business Hours schedule and a Time node in the ICM script.
Let's say your have Business Hours Mo-Fr from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm as Open. Then after the IF node where you evaluate Business Hour variable you can add a Time node where connection A will be your lunch time from 12.00 pm to 1.00 pm, and connection Other will have other hours except lunch time.

Yes, I consider the inability to have a gap in the business hours to be a huge shortcoming. I like that idea of a main schedule where open means open, but then have a secondary schedule for the gaps (lunch, whatever). In that context, 'open' in the break schedule actually means closed. It seems reasonably trivial to put that logic into the ICM script.
