The error is pretty clear. What problem are you facing in resolving this?

For sure that is a better solution with a!match() (for those on Appian 22.1 or newer), this was a weekend/internal/concept project for fun, quick build back a few years ago 🙃

[quote userid="2401" url="~/discussions/f/user-interface/25800/display-watch-or-digital-clock/100766#100766"]this could be optimized..[/quote]

hint: a!match() executes its "whenTrue" parameters in order, choosing only the first one that returns true (which would get rid of your and() statements altogether, because you'd just go from the bottom up in evaluating values of ri!pct).

Edit: i got bored so

a!match(
  value: ri!pct,
  
  whenTrue: ri!notSet,
  then: "#afafaf",
  
  whenTrue: fv!value < 20,
  then: "#008000",
  
  whenTrue: fv!value < 40,
  then: "#a4d100",
  
  whenTrue: fv!value < 60,
  then: "#f9fc00",
  
  whenTrue: fv!value < 80,
  then: "#ff8500",
  
  whenTrue: fv!value >= 80,
  then: "#ff0500",
  
  default: "#afafaf"
)

Just for an OOTB example, I implemented something for a similar requirement with a!gaugeField() for a countdown timer in a Meeting Minute type app:

/* rule inputs are datetime */

a!localVariables(
  local!notSet: or(
    rule!APN_isEmpty(ri!start),
    rule!APN_isEmpty(ri!end),
    rule!APN_isEmpty(ri!current),
    ri!current<ri!start
  ),
  local!hours: if(local!notSet,0,hour(tointervalds(ri!end-ri!start))),
  local!minutes: if(local!notSet,0,minute(tointervalds(ri!end-ri!start))),
  local!duration: if(local!notSet,0,(local!hours*60)+local!minutes),
  local!curHoursIn: if(local!notSet,0,hour(tointervalds(ri!current-ri!start))),
  local!curMinutesIn: if(local!notSet,0,minute(tointervalds(ri!current-ri!start))),
  local!durationIn: if(local!notSet,0,(local!curHoursIn*60)+local!curMinutesIn),
  local!remainingMinutes: if(local!notSet,0,if(local!durationIn>local!duration,0,local!duration-local!durationIn)),
  local!pct: if(local!notSet,0,trunc((local!durationIn/local!duration)*100,0)),

  {
    a!gaugeField(
      labelPosition: "COLLAPSED",
      percentage: local!pct,
      primaryText: if(local!notSet,"---",local!remainingMinutes),
      secondaryText: "mins remain",
      color: rule!MM_getGaugeColorForPct(
        pct: local!pct,
        notSet: local!notSet
      ),
      size: "MEDIUM",
      align: "CENTER",
    )
  }
)

Helper rule!MM_getGaugeColorForPct() (this could be optimized..):

if(
  ri!notSet,
  "#afafaf",
  if(
    ri!pct < 20,
    "#008000",
    if(
      and(
        ri!pct >= 20,
        ri!pct < 40
      ),
      "#a4d100",
      if(
        and(
          ri!pct >= 40,
          ri!pct < 60
        ),
        "#f9fc00",
        if(
          and(
            ri!pct >= 60,
            ri!pct < 80
          ),
          "#ff8500",
          if(
            ri!pct >= 80,
            "#ff0500",
            "#afafaf"
          )
        )
      )
    )
  )
)

That one indicates on its listing that it's "archived". I was unable to pull it up in the admin console plug-in deployment manager. Perhaps this one is a better current alternative?

RE: display watch or digital clock

kavitar5580 — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 12:52:18 GMT

Okay

RE: display watch or digital clock

kavitar5580 — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 12:52:03 GMT

the elapsed time since something started?

But which one are you saying "Yes" to? Those were 3 separate (mutually exclusive) questions...

You can use the above plugin.

RE: display watch or digital clock

kavitar5580 — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 12:23:43 GMT

Yes

RE: display watch or digital clock

kavitar5580 — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 12:22:13 GMT

count down timer

RE: display watch or digital clock

kavitar5580 — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 12:20:55 GMT

Yes like Appian Exam I want to make a timer

RE: display watch or digital clock

Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 12:16:57 GMT

Maybe this is something you need - community.appian.com/.../real-time-clock-component-plug-in

RE: display watch or digital clock

In the meantime until Appian introduce the functionality, you can refresh the time after every 30 seconds by using refresh interval and show that time.

We need a little bit more to go on. Do you mean:

the time of day?
the elapsed time since something started?
the remaining time you have left to finish something by?
