Function: @[DATETIMEADD]

In the Management Portal at Entitlement Catalog, when you configure a workflow action for a service, you can optionally replace the values in various fields with functions. With the function @[DATETIMEADD(<startdate(time)>,<value>,<unit>,<inputformat>,<outputformat>)] you can add a configurable interval to a start date(time) at any point in the workflow.

The function @[DATETIMEADD(<startdate(time)>,<value>,<unit>,<inputformat>,<outputformat>)] resolves into a date and/or time in the specified format. You can use Y, M, D, H, N and S for year, month, day, hour, minutes and seconds.
When you add a negative value, the output lies before the startdate(time).
