How to capture the current date/time into a eVar

Hello Manish,

   One solution is to use getTimeParting plugin & you can get the time in your desired TimeZone captured in an eVar.

var tpA = s.getTimeParting('n','-7');

s.eVarX = tpA.split('|')[0]; // time at minute level

Reference documentation - getTimeParting​

Date / Date range you can always choose for the report whenever you run them in Adobe Analytics.

Agreed with saurabh kumar​ - time parting plugin is the way to go. I also recommend using Classifications to break it out by:

Day of Week, Month, AM v PM, Weekday vs Weekend.

We've had some customers even break it out by Business Day vs non-Business Day. This can be especially interesting for B2B companies. Enjoy!

Hello Everyone !

I've been trying to do this, but since the s.code is not accessible in my implementation, we don't know where to put the plugin.

We have tryed in a data element but the s.code is not accessible ( the error is 's not defined') .

Should we put this on the custom code part of the Tool Definition ?

We don't want to go to every rule we have an add this , so if someone knows something please some help would be appreciated !

Cheers !

Hi marion69081899​ - good news! There are now pre-built time parting dimensions in Analysis Workspace! So you won't even need to add this plugin. More details here:

Hello ericmatisoff​

Yes ! I they are really useful, but no minutes are being capture in those ! right ?

Cheers !

Minute should be available:

ericmatisoff​ minute is not available as dimension in tim-parting. if you look close at the screenshot, the minute is linked to one exact minute, not all the „minutes“ of all hours...

if you want minute as a dimension, you need a custom setup or eait until time-parting will deliver this information.

Hello urs.boller​

I can do the custom conf. , but I just wanted to know where would be the best place to do it. On datalement is not working, and either we put the plugin in all of our custom rules, or we do it in the tool custom code (see .PNG) . Before doing this I just wanted to know if Someone had already figured out this :

I can‘t help you, you need someone with programming skills
