getMovDate()

The getMovDate() function (server-side) retrieves a date and time value from a question and answer combination. You can also adjust the date by adding or subtracting a specific number of days.

Syntax

Use these syntax formats for the getMovDate() function:

  • To retrieve date and time in synchronous mode:

                    getMovDate('QUESTION_CODE', 'ANSWER_CODE', daysNumber, {
    async: false
}); 

              
                    getMovDate('QUESTION_CODE', 'ANSWER_CODE', daysNumber);

  • To retrieve date and time in asynchronous mode:

                    getMovDate('QUESTION_CODE', 'ANSWER_CODE', daysNumber, {
    async: true
}).done(callback);

Return Value

The getMovDate() function returns a string formatted as date and time data.

Parameters

Note:

Required parameters:

  • QUESTION_CODE

  • ANSWER_CODE

  • daysNumber

The getMovDate() function accepts the following parameters:

  • QUESTION_CODE (string) - Specifies the question code. You can find it in the Code field on the question record.

  • ANSWER_CODE (string) - Specifies the answer code. You can find it in the Code field on the answer record.

  • daysNumber (number) - Specifies the amount of days to add or subtract.

  • mode (object) - Specifies the synchronous or asynchronous processing mode using the async property. This property is false by default. So getMoveDate() runs synchronously by default.

              getMovDate('INPUT_BOX', 'DATE', 0, {
    async: true
}).done(function(date) {
    console.log(date);
});

See the output:
