Understanding the Different Yurbi Data Type [v11]

Version: Yurbi v11
Role: Builder or higher
Permission: Builder access to the application

This table describes the most data-types used internally to Yurbi. These data types were configured to allow for custom post-processing of data before it is displayed in the client.

DatatypeDescription Example
cha Character data type – values can be any text string and are sortable as text String of Words
num Numeric data type – values are expected to be numeric and sortable as numbers 4387
udt Unix Date-Time – The underlying data is stored as unix date time (number of seconds since 1970) The UDT data type tells Yurbi to convert this value to a date time display. This is sortable as a date 4/2/2015 15:35
dat SQL Date Time – the underlying data is stored in SQL Date time. This is sortable as date 4/2/2015 15:35
lnk and ddn and 800 This is an internal data type where the field is processed into a hyper link. ** This datatype is deprecated and should be replaced with Ad-hoc field builder feature when creating reports http://www.google.com
For This is when a formula is applied to the field used in the builder. Specifically if none of the base data types (cha, num, dat, udt) apply n/a
dmy Unix date time display as date part only. This will convert a unix date time stamp into a date part only string that is sortable as a date 4/2/2015
tda This will convert a numeric representation of seconds to a “days” value 86400 = 1
thr This will convert a numeric representation of seconds to an hours value 3600 = 1
tmi This will convert a numeric representation of seconds to minutes 60 = 1
500 This field will take a unix date time and subtract it from current time to get duration in days 0.56
501 This field will take a unix date time and subtract it from current date to get duration in hours 87.26
502 This field will take a unix date time and subtract it from current date to get duration in minutes 59.86
503 This field will take a unix date time and subtract it from current date to get duration in seconds 78
504 This field will take a unix date time and subtract it from current date to get duration in D:H:M 6 days:10 hrs:30 min
dhm Convert duration in seconds to get duration in d:h:m 6 days:10 hrs:30 min
600 Display a UNIX date time field in time part only 15:35
dpo This will take an underlying date time value and display it as date part only 4/2/2015
cur This will take a numeric value and display it as currency $564.25
tmr This will display a time span in seconds as a Count Down Timer
idt Use this data type when the underlying data source stores a date value without a time element 4/2/2015
