Rules are probably best described by using examples. This chapter contains numerous real world samples.

Finding a Selected Options Index
The 2nd rule Select Product ID keeps the hidden PID dropdown syncronized with the visible Products dropdown.

/ Calculate Hospital Stay Duration if (A.value !== '' && D.value !== '') { var da = A.value.split('-'); var Ams = new Date(da[0],da[1],da[2]); da = D.value.split('-'); var Dms = new Date(da[0],da[1],da[2]); if (Ams > Dms) { Days.value = 'Discharge date must be after Admission Date'; } else { Days.value = (Dms - Ams) / (1000*60*60*24) + ' days'; } } |
Duration (between Date/Time)
Here is a rule example to calculate the time difference between two Date/Time values in hours:minutes format :

if (StartDateTime.value !== '' && EndDateTime.value !== '') {
var d = StartDateTime.value.split('-');
var d1 = d[2].split('T');
var t = d1[1].split('Z')[0];
var t1 = t.split(':');
var startDate = new Date(d[0],d[1],d1[0], t1[0], t1[1], t1[2]);
d = EndDateTime.value.split('-');
d1 = d[2].split('T');
t = d1[1].split('Z')[0];
var t1 = t.split(':');
var endDate = new Date(d[0],d[1],d1[0], t1[0], t1[1], t1[2]);
var diff = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();
var hours = Math.floor(diff / 1000 / 60 / 60);
diff -= hours * 1000 * 60 * 60;
var minutes = Math.floor(diff / 1000 / 60);
TimeToComplete.value = (hours < 9 ? "0" : "") + hours + ":" + (minutes < 9 ? "0" : "") + minutes;
