Hi everyone,

 

In PAD, is there a way for us to check if the highlighted variable in red has being used in the past 5 minutes?

 

If the condition is yes, I would like to terminate the flow.

 

If the condition is no, I would like to proceed with the flow.

Kind regards,

    Is UPN also a date type variable?  Such as the last day it was used?

     

    if so, use “subtract dates”.  Put current in one and upn in the other. Then say, if result is greater than 150, do something, else stop.

    Hi Michael.

     

    No, UPN is a Text type variable.

    Hi @nicklim 

     

    does variable used means its value is changed ?
