Date operators

Description of date operators used in decision tables
Every condition cell in decision table can have a different operator. These are the general operators which you can choose from:

How to use date operators

By choosing any of the operators, date and time are set to None, and the time zone is set to GTM+1:00.
Without choosing a specific Date or Time (at least one), you can not save the condition! Even if you have a set Time zone.
By clicking on
or
modal window is shown, where you
✅
, if you want to set a specific date or time.
By
✅
selecting a date or time, a current date/time is set.
Date select window
Specific date select

Request input format

Request input must be in a specific format, which is shown below. The order of date, time and timezone, does not affect the result.
"date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
"time": "HH:MM",
"timezone": "+/-HH:MM"

Equals Operator (=)

Compares two date values. The equal operator compares:
  • Date

Equal Operator examples:

[request value] = [table value]
​
"date": "2021-03-18" date: "2021-03-18"
"time": "08:53" = time: "08:53" //true
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": "2021-03-17" date: "2021-03-17"
"time": null = time: null //true
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": null date: null
"time": "08:53" = time: "08:53" //true
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": "2021-03-18" date: "2021-03-18"
"time": "08:53" = time: null //false
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": null date: "2021-03-18"
"time": "08:53" = time: "08:53" //false
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"

Greater than OR Equal Operator (>=)

The greater than or equal operator (>=) returns true if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand, and false otherwise.

Greater than OR Equal Operator examples:

[request value] >= [table value]
​
"date": "2021-03-18" date: "2021-03-18"
"time": "08:53" >= time: "08:53" //true
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": "2021-03-18" date: "2021-03-18"
"time": "09:53" >= time: "08:53" //true
"timezone": "+03:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": "2021-03-20" date: "2021-03-18"
"time": null >= time: null //true
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": null date: null
"time": "08:53" >= time: "08:53" //true
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": null date: null
"time": "08:53" >= time: "10:53" //false
"timezone": "+04:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": "2021-03-18" date: "2021-03-18"
"time": null >= time: null //false
"timezone": "+04:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": "2021-03-20" date: "2021-03-18"
"time": "08:53" >= time: null //false
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"
​
"date": null date: "2021-03-18"
"time": "08:53" >= time: "08:53" //false
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"

Greater Operator (>)

The greater operator (>) returns true if the left operand is greater than the right operand, and false otherwise.

Greater Operator examples:

"date": null date: "2021-03-18"
"time": "08:53" > time: "08:53" //false
"timezone": "+01:00" timezone: "+01:00"

Less than OR Equal Operator (<=)

The less than or equal operator (<=) returns true if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand, and false otherwise.
