calculations: it is as precise as integers.
Defining Currency Values
l
Pre-Processor: In the step properties selection under Properties specify the "Type" as
"Currency" and set a default value as a number with up to 4 decimal points, such as
546513.8798
l
Extraction: In the step properties under Field Definition specify "Type" as "Currency"
and configure how the value will be read from the Source Record (see Extract Step). The
field value will be extracted and treated as a float.
l
JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to any float value.
Example: record.fields["PreciseTaxSubtotal"] = 27.13465;
While currency values can be set to up to 4 significant digits, only 2 are displayed on screen.
Building Currency Values
Currency values can be the result of direct attribution or mathematical operations just like
Integer and Float values.
Date Data Type
Dates are values that represent a specific point in time, precise up to the second. They can also
be referred to as datetime values. While dates are shown visually under the system's regional
settings, in reality they are stored unformatted.
Note
The Date property is stored in Connect database with zero time zone offset, which makes it
possible to convert the time correctly in any location. PlanetPress Workflow, however, shows the
date/time as it is stored database (with 0 time zone offset). This is expected behavior for the moment
and the zone offset must be calculated manually in PlanetPress Workflow.
