GetSiteTime

Returns the current time at the data-entry site.

Syntax

GetSiteTime()

Returns

Current time at the data-entry site.

Notes

The function returns the current time in the time zone of the data-entry site, not the time zone of the location of the InForm server. To get the current time at the InForm server computer, use _GetCurrentDate.

Example

This example of a constraint rule uses both the GetSiteTime and _CompareDates functions to check whether the date entered is in the future. It is attached at the item level to a DOV item.

evaluate on Form Submission

value = _CompareDates(this.Value, GetSiteTime())

when value == 1

issue query: Date cannot be in the future compared to System Date

You could also write the rule to evaluate to true or false instead of to a numeric value:

evaluate on Form Submission

value = _CompareDates(this.Value, GetSiteTime()) == 1

when value is true

issue query: Date cannot be in the future compared to System Date
