Using Date Aliases

Date aliases calculate dates by:

• Adding a period of time to one date to calculate another.

• Applying date rounding options.

• Applying date conversion options.

• Finding the date associated with a specific amount of service accrual.

You can only perform one operation per definition. Any combination of actions requires multiple date definitions. For example, to find the first of the month after an employee reaches age 21, set up one date alias to add 21 years to the employee's date of birth, and set up a second date alias to round that value to the first of the following month.
