How to show date difference in record type based on condition

In Appian, you can just subtract the two date values and get a time interval in return.

for geting the number of days you can use this -> 

tointeger(today() - todate("1/12/2024"))

Hi Stefan, 

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any way I can achieve this?. I just wanted to show from how many days, a case has been opened (called it as "Days Open"). 

If not as a integer value, then I am okay with time interval. But how can I show the color on certain conditions (like only when the case is not completed).

Thank you

With "Days Open", do you mean calendar days or working days? There is the function networkdays that would return the working days.

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.4/Function_Recipes.html#display-the-number-of-days-before-a-specific-date

You can turn an interval into the number of days using tointeger().

Then you can use a richtextdisplayfield and some conditions (if() or match()) to show/hide and color the values in any way you want/need to.

for color handling ->

a!localVariables(
  local!data: {
    a!map(id: 1, date: todate("1/02/2024")),
    a!map(id: 2, date: todate("1/12/2024")),
    a!map(id: 3, date: todate("1/17/2024"))
  },
  {
    a!richTextDisplayField(labelPosition: "COLLAPSED", value: {
      a!forEach(
        items: local!data,
        expression: a!richTextItem(
        text: {concat(tointeger(today()-fv!item.date)," Days left"),char(10)},
        color: if(
          tointeger(today()-fv!item.date)<=3,
          "POSITIVE",
          if(
            tointeger(today()-fv!item.date)<=15,
            "STANDARD",
            "NEGATIVE"
          )
        )
      ))
    })
  }
)

If you want to use it it in Multiple places Go for a custom record field .

If it's for single user interface then just  subtract   the two dates and coming to colors part handle it with rich text display field.

Hello sajids0001,

You can make use of custom record fields for your use case. Have one custom record field where you find the date difference  and in the other you can have your color based on the 1st custom record field. Else have only one field where you get the date difference and then based on the values you can handle the colors in UI.

Coming to the condition of status you can also handle that in UI or you can create your custom field in Sync-time evaluation using the expression.

Hi Amaan,

Thank you for providing your insights. 

I have modified the code little bit and now it is giving me the desired result.

a!localVariables(
  local!values: {if(
    tointeger(rf!riskAssessmentStatus.id)<5,
    tointeger(today()-rf!createdOn),"NA"
  )},
  {
    a!forEach(
      items: local!values,
      expression: a!richTextItem(
        text: fv!item,
        color: if(
          fv!item = "NA","STANDARD",
          if(
            fv!item >= 6, "NEGATIVE",
            if(
              fv!item <= 3, "POSITIVE","#FFFF00"
            )
          )
        )
      )
    )
  }
)

glad to here that
