Help create capsules using start and end dates with times.

[Jason400]

Im trying to create capsules using formulas but get errors. 

"capsule('August 15 2023 21:00', 'August 17 2023 17:00')"

Do I need to define the asset? 

 

Thanks

Hi Jason,

you need to specify the date in an ISO 8601 format, then it should work. In the following example I am creating a condition with one capsule from Aug 19th to Aug 20th using UTC+2 timezone:

condition(10d, capsule('2023-08-19T00:00:00+02:00', '2023-08-20T00:00:00+02:00'))

Regards,

Thorsten

Thanks. What is 10d? 

 

[Thorsten Vogt]

When using condition() you need to specify a maximum capsule duration. 10d means 10 days. I could have shortened this to 1 day in my example, as the capsule only captures the 19th of August.

Regards,

Thorsten

Thanks. I figured it out, all but the +2.00. What does that represent?

[Jason400]

Figured it out, its time zone. 

Thanks for the help.

 

Cheers
