System variable expressions

They are case InsENSitiVE and always start with $, providing additional data unrelated to a specific object or its state. For example, if you need to get the current date, you can do it directly via the system variable $date.

// Input
'{$date}'
// Output
'01.01.2021'

// Input
'{$datetimeutc}'
// Output
'01.01.2021 15:00:00'

// Input
'{$rooturl}'
// Output
'db.myerp.net'

// Input
'{$user.Name}'
// Output
'John Doe'

// Input
'{$user.Name}'
// Output
'John Doe'

Note

See System variables for more information and all supported system variables.

If a system variable exists but is null, the expression will evaluate to an empty string.

// Input 
'{$role.Name}'
// Output
''

If a system variable doesn't exist or its further reference is invalid, the evaluation will return an error.

// Input 
'{$yesterday}'
// Output
'#Error: System Variable '$yesterday' not found#'

// Input (FullName does not exist)
'{$role.FullName}'
// Output
'#Error: Attribute 'FullName' not found#'
