Compare current time vs fields time

JoshuaJohn

I have a checkbox that when ticked I want it to compare the current time vs. the time of the values in a field of the panel. It would then only show the devices that exceed the current time. If unchecked all devices show regardless of time.

alt text
static option true = strftime(_time,"%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p")
alt text (Field I want to compare to)

Here is a run anywhere dashboard that uses a recent answers post's sample data to demonstrate what I think you're looking for:

<form>
  <label>622761</label>
   <fieldset submitButton="false">
     <input type="checkbox" token="filter_expired" searchWhenChanged="true">
       <label></label>
       <choice value="yes">Check for expired</choice>
       <delimiter> </delimiter>
       <change>
         <condition value="yes">
           <eval token="checked_result_value">"Status=Expired"</eval>
         </condition>
         <condition>
           <eval token="checked_result_value">""</eval>
