Keep in mind that the date&time displayed to you is always transformed into the timezone of your account. That makes your undertaking quite mind-bending. I covered working date&time in Appian in a blog post

function Now() already show the correct date & time with converted timezone.

I just want to compare the current time with 11:30 AM.

when I use totime(now()) is show as GMT time not the EST/EDT time

for example : now() = 3/12/2024 3:37 PM EDT(Date and Time with Timezone)

but totime(now()) =7:37 PM(Time)

and I cannot compare to 11:30 AM
