IS_BEFORE_TODAY

IS_BEFORE_TODAY:
  arg: { arg } # required

Description

The IS_BEFORE_TODAY operation checks if a DateTime value, provided as the argument arg, is strictly before the current day (today). The comparison is based on the current date at UTC midnight. It returns a Boolean value: true if the arg DateTime is before today, and false otherwise.

Parameters

• arg (Operation<DateTime>, required):
  • Specifies the DateTime value to be checked.
  • This should be an operation that resolves to a DateTime value, such as FIELD, EXTRACT, DATE_TIME_FROM, or DATE_TIME.

Return Type

Boolean

Examples

1. Checking if a date field is before today:

   IS_BEFORE_TODAY:
     arg:
       FIELD:
         path: CA10__dueDate__c # Assume this field returns a DateTime value

   This example checks if the date in the CA10__dueDate__c field is before the current day.

2. Using IS_BEFORE_TODAY in a Condition:

   - status: INCOMPLIANT
     currentStateMessage: "The expiration date is in the past."
     remediationMessage: "Review and update the expiration date to a future date."
     check:
       IS_BEFORE_TODAY:
         arg:
           EXTRACT: CA10__expirationDate__c # Assume 'CA10__expirationDate__c' is an extract returning DateTime

   This condition flags a resource as INCOMPLIANT if its expiration date, obtained from the CA10__expirationDate__c extract, is before today.
