Component · Variables

↑

Component (Date & Time category in Variable Wizard) retrieves only a part either from date or from time, such as year, month, day, hour, minute or second. Component allows extracting every possible date and time part with easy further integration into Actions. The application of Component becomes even more powerful with simultaneous use of multiple variables at a time.
