Define a Date/Time user selection

This version of Service Request Catalog allows you to use the Date/Time Validation mechanism of Service Manager. You can use the tod() to define an appropriate expression for a Date/Time user selection.

For example, suppose you want to specify a minimum 5-day delivery date for the delivery of a catalog item. To do this, you can configure a "Deliver By:" user selection in the Catalog Item to use the following expression (in the "greater than" field):

tod()+ '5 00:00:00'

When a user tries to order this catalog item, the user must choose a date that is greater than 5 days from the current system time. Otherwise, a warning message appears, and the user must pick another date.
