  • Use date and time transform functions to recalculate or reformat data pills for Date/Time values.

    Date and time transform functions require a Date/Time or String input data pill. Some functions also support Duration data pills. Make sure to use the correct input data pill type when applying date and time transform functions. If a date and time transform function is applied to an improper data pill type, the data is not transformed at runtime and the input value is returned instead. For more information on confirming your flow runtime values, see Test a flow.

    注:
    Runtime Date/Time values are not localized and appear in the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time zone. For more information, see Time zones and time zone representation.

    Add Time

    Adds days, hours, minutes, or seconds to an input Date/Time, Date, Due Date, or Duration.

    Input data pill Parameters Output data pill
    Date/Time, Date, Due Date, or Duration
    注:
    If the input is a Date or Due Date, the transform creates a full Date/Time value using time values of hour 0, minute 0, and second 0.
    Duration - Amount of time to add in days, hours, minutes, and seconds Date/Time - Transformed Date/Time value after adding the specified Duration
    図 : 1. Example
    • Input: 2019-09-12 11:00:00
    • Duration: 3 hours
    • Output: 2019-09-12 14:00:00

    Subtract Time

    Subtracts days, hours, minutes, and/or seconds from the input Date/Time, Date, Due Date, or Duration.

    Input data pill Parameters Output data pill
    Date/Time, Date, Due Date, or Duration
    注:
    If the input is a Date or Due Date, the transform creates a full Date/Time value using time values of hour 0, minute 0, and second 0.
    Duration - Enter an amount of time to subtract in days, hours, minutes, and seconds Date/Time - Transformed Date/Time value after subtracting the specified Duration
    図 : 2. Example
    • Input: 2019-09-12 11:00:00
    • Duration: 2 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes, 10 seconds
    • Output: 2019-09-10 09:54:50

    In this example, the flow retrieves a CMDB Configuration Item record from a remote instance. The Subtract Time transform function then localizes the value of the Created field by subtracting three hours from the input Date/Time.

    String to Date

    Converts the input String to a Date/Time.

    Input data pill Parameters Output data pill
    String formatted as specified in the Input Date Format
    • Input Date Format - Date/Time or date format of the input String
    • Custom Format - Valid Date/Time or date format represented as a String. Required only if Custom Format is selected as the Input Date Format.
    Date/Time
    注:
    • If the Date/Time value for the Custom Format input is incomplete, the transform creates a full Date/Time value using default dates and times. In such a case, the transform defaults to the current year, the current month, day 1 of a month, hour 0, minute 0, and second 0. For example, an input data pill value of Oct 2019 and a custom date format of MMM yyyy produces an output of 2019-10-01 00:00:00.
    • If you use an incorrect data pill type or invalid Custom Format, the flow cancels during runtime.
    図 : 4. Example
    • Input: '1995-11-20'
    • Input Date Format: ISO Date (2004-06-28)
    • Output: 1995-11-20 00:00:00

    Date to String

    Converts the input Date/Time, Date, or Due Date to a String. Select a Date Format for the input Date/Time. Alternatively, enter a Custom Format for the input Date/Time.

    Input data pill Parameters Output data pill
    Date/Time, Date, or Due Date
    • Output Date Format - Date/Time or date format of the output String
    • Custom Format - Valid Date/Time or date format represented as a String. Required only if selecting Custom Format as the Date Format.
    String formatted as specified in the Output Date Format
    注:
    If you use an incorrect input data pill type or invalid Custom Format, the flow cancels during runtime.
    図 : 5. Example
    • Input: 1969-12-31 14:23:57
    • Output Date Format: Custom (enter below)
    • Custom Format: 'On' MMM dd, yyyy 'at' hh:mm a
    • Output: 'On Dec 31, 1969 at 2:23 PM'

    In this example, the flow retrieves a User [sys_user] record from a third-party database. The Date to String transform function converts the format of the Created field and then logs the date, time, and name that is associated with the record.

    Custom date formats

    You can specify a custom date format with a sequence of specific date and time pattern strings. A pattern string consists of one or more uppercase and lowercase letters from A to Z. Any text within quotation marks is ignored and is instead copied into the date output.

    String Description Output Format Example
    G Era designator Text AD
    y Year Year 2019; 19
    Y Week in year Year 2019; 19
