Dynamic Date (from to) to Archive Workitem

Question

Hi, I would like to kown if is possible create a variant with dynamic date in field End Date? I´m trying this, but when I select a dynamic date -180 days to system puts the date on the first field, but I would like to have the End Date filled from 01.01.2008 to 24.04.2010 (today - 180 days).
Is it possible?

Answer 1

It depends on what version you have in your system. When defining the variable, follow the following steps:
- Highlight the date row (just for ease of use)
- Under the "Selection Variable", click F4 and select D (for dynamic)
- Under the "Name of Variable", click F4
- In the drop down screen you get, scroll all the way down
- You have three options you can use:
    1- Current date - xxx,current date + yyy
    2- Date - xxx, Date + yyy (work days)
    3- (Beginning of mth-xx months, end of mth+yy months)
- Pick any of the three options
- In the xxx field, put a positive number; say 180 (for the first two options) or 6 (for the third option)
- In the yyy field, put a negative number; say -30 (for the first two options) or 1 (for the third option)
Hope this helps.
