DateTimeNow Tool
Use DateTimeNow to return a single row: the date and time at the workflow runtime, and convert the value into the string format of your choosing. This is a useful tool to add a date-time header for a report, for example. Note that the output is in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Tip
This tool has a One Tool Example. Visit Access Sample Workflows to learn how to access this and many other examples directly in Designer Cloud.
Configure the Tool
Specify your Output Language. Select the dropdown to choose the language of the output. The language that you select determines the options available in the Output Format dropdown.
Select the Output Format to specify the string format for the date-time value returned. The available output format options depend on the selected language.
