lastEntryTs

Retrieves the timestamp from the last time the workflow step was entered.

This variable can be used to create conditional statements, but it should not be hard-coded or altered.

The last entry time is localized in the companion file and maintained in the key:

<step_name>@<workflow_name>.lastEntryTs

Type and Usage

• "Workflow Variables"

• "Date and Time"

Output

Returns the timestamp in the format defined by dateCurrent.

Example

The following code defines a jump called LastEntry, which exits to the parent workflow and notifies the reviewers if the last time the step was entered was more than one week ago:

<$if parseDate(wfCurrentGet("lastEntryTs")) < parseDate(dateCurrent(-7))$>
    <$wfSet("WfJumpName","LastEntry")$>
    <$wfSet("WfJumpTargetStep",wfExit(0,0))$>
    <$wfSet("WfJumpEntryNotifyOff","0")$>
<$endif$>
