Pathagoras Tip of the Week

Instant Database

    Date features: If a [bracketed variable] contains the word 'date' in any form, Pathagoras will display a small burgundy button between the variable and the replacement text columns. 

    If you click the button (optional), a calendar will appear. Select and insert the date for the replacement text. A very handy tool!

    Examples of variables that will trigger the feature: [Date]; [Contract Date]; [Date of Letter], etc.

    (But note: These will trigger the display of the button too: [consolidate]; [inundate], etc. We don't exclude these words from the date feature because they are not likely to be variables in the first place. But we thought the 'warning' would be appropriate here nevertheless.)

    'Date math' and 'Date Formatting' are available with this feature.

    Click the 'IDB Calendar' link under "Help Manual References" at the left for illustrated instructions.
