Get Date & Time

The Get Date & Time action retrieves the date and time from the node.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Output Time	Specifies the format of the date and time as it is stored internally in the node. This relates to the internal format and not the format of the Date output variable on the output tab. Options are: GMT — Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This is the default format. The internal representation of the date and time in the node is in a Unix time format. Local Timezone — The internal representation of the date and time in the node is a local time representation, taking into account the current configured time zone for the node. This is not the common node configuration and this option should only be used when the node uses the local time internal representation. For either option, the time stamp will be adjusted to represent the local time in the time zone configured for the node before being written to the output variable specified in Date on the Output tab.
