We have an issue from a user where he mentions that “Report filters for dates are not displaying properly”. This issue is happening when the user is using the triCreatedSY field in user filters. I added a date-time field to an existing report and chose the filter of “After”. When I run the report, the filter says “Contains” that also does not work. I entered the date of one of the items in the report and it did not return that item…
The system is providing the filter operator similar to the date fields, but it is not working no matter what date we give or what operator we use. We tried the same for other date fields which ends with “DT” but those work fine. I looked in the field properties of the triCreatedSY field and found the property “Sub Attribute Type = Created DateTime (Number)”. In the TRIRIGA user guide (PDF), I found the following information…
My understanding is if the user wants to use the triCreatedSY field, then we have to add a field “Created DateTime Number” on the BO. Based on the PDF, when I added a field on the BO, no information is getting populated in that field. It looks like there should be a way to map it. Is my understanding correct? Will it be a good solution to apply the changes as mentioned in the user guide? Or can we suggest an alternative to the user?
The triCreatedSY field is actually a timestamp field, so it acts like a string. You’ve started in the right direction by creating a new Created DateTime field, but it needs to be a Field Type = “System Read Only” and the Sub Attribute Type = “Created DateTime (Number)”. Note that previously created records will not have this field populated.
