This condition checks if a calendar date is smaller or greater than a comparison date.

Days shift

This is a shift added to the date that you enter in the field Enter days shift. It can be a positive or negative number.

Example: 3 days shift

Image that you entered the comparison date as 10th of July and 3 days shift, as shown below:

This set-up will convert the comparison date from 10th of July to 13th of July (07/13/2023).

On After: The condition will be met if the reference date (the one entered in Start Condition building block) is 14th or any day after 14th, which is later than 13th.

On Before: The condition will be met if the reference date (the one entered in Start Condition building block) is 12th or any day before 12th, which is earlier than 13th.

Example: -2 days shift

Negative numbers are accepted, too.

This set-up will convert the comparison date from 10th of July to 8th of July (07/08/2023).

On After: The condition will be met if the reference date (the one entered in Start Condition building block) is 9th or any day after 9th, which is later than 8th.

On Before: The condition will be met if the reference date (the one entered in Start Condition building block) is 7th or any day before 7th, which is earlier than 8th.

Date format

The date format between the comparison date and the reference date must be consistent, otherwise the comparison would be error-prone.

You can change the date format in the date settings as shown below.
