Setup

Insert Variable Date

The Insert Variable Date feature lets you add reusable date variables to standard text and other fields so dates update automatically without requiring manual edits.

Overview

Use the Insert Variable Date window to add dates to standard text items without updating those items periodically. This feature is useful when you want the application to insert a date value automatically.
For example, you can add a variable year-end date to a text item, and the application inserts the year automatically.

Access the feature

To access the
Insert Variable Date
 window, select the
Insert Variable Date
 button in any of the following locations:
  • Setup
    Standard Text
  • Setup
    Activities
  • Detail Billing
     screen,
    Compose
     tab
  • Comment
     window, such as on the
    Receipt & Adjustment Entry
     screen
  • Biller Note
     window on the
    Time & Expense Entry
     screen

Use the feature

Position the cursor where you want the date to appear, and then select the calendar button. In the
Insert Variable Date
 window, select a date from the list, choose a date format, and select
OK
.
The variable appears in brackets, but it displays correctly in the field where it is used.
