I have an offboarding workflow that needs to wait to fire Tasks until the 'term_date'.   I think i should use the wait for condition but I am not sure of the script that I should use.   Can someone assist, please?

You can use a Timer activity for this.


If you're getting the value from a form field, set the value for Timer based on "A date/time or duration field" and then select your field.


If you're getting it from a variable, set the value for Timer based on "Script", then in the script field use the code below.



answer = gs.dateDiff(gs.nowDateTime(), current.variables.term_date, true);


You can read about gs.dateDiff here. http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=GlideSystem_Date_and_Time_Functions#dateDiff.28String.2C_...

Hi,

Hoping you can help out here - the above works well in the Global scope - however I'm trying to use it in the HR Scope and it produces an error that states 'Function dateDiff is not allowed in scope sn_hr_core.  Use GlideDateTime.subtract() instead'.

 

Not being a scripter I haven't managed to get this to work - would you be able to translate your code above to do the same thing but with the GlideDateTime?

 

Thanks Carl.
