Offsets

The TIME dynamic text code allows for a time offset to be applied to time and date dynamic text codes. The first argument is any dynamic text, and the (optional) third argument applies an offset to the current time. The offset is expressed as an arithmetic expression (only plus and minus is supported) that can also use the following dynamic components (expressed without braces):

  • year
  • month
  • week
  • day
  • hour
  • minute

Plural versions are also accepted, e.g. years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes. Standard dynamic text codes can be used in the offset. Examples:

  • {TIME;{YEAR}{DAYOFYEAR};+1month}
  • {TIME;{YEAR}{DAYOFYEAR};+3months-1week-4hours}
  • {TIME;{YEAR}{DAYOFYEAR};+{VARIABLE;WEEK_OFFSET}weeks}
    (If the variable WEEK_OFFSET has the value “4”, then this is equivalent to +4weeks.
