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:
