Keywords available through MoversSuite date fields are described in the table below. To use them, simply begin typing in the keyword into any date field and the application will automatically fill-in the value and set the date accordingly. The application will validate the entry once the user navigates away from the field (pressing TAB, clicking on a different field, etc.). The resulting format will always be in MM/DD/CCYY format and the date is based on application server settings.
Each keyword can also be used with a plus (+) or minus (-) followed by a certain number of days. For example, if the date needs to be 30 from the end of the current month the user can enter “eom+30.” To set the date to 10 days from the current enter “today+10.”
