System-defined variables for tags

You can use the following predefined variables in your job tags:

Variable

Value

B

The job number: an integer value that starts at 1 and is incremented with every new job.

BF_D

Date, in the format set by the Tag: Date Format system setting. It is evaluated at execution time, so it cannot be evaluated in the Tag Example on a project start page. Enclose it in { } if you use it.

BF_J

Day of the year. It is evaluated at execution time, so it cannot be evaluated in the Tag Example on a project start page. Enclose it in { } if you use it.

BF_T

Time, in the format set by the Tag: Time Format system setting. It is evaluated at execution time, so it cannot be evaluated in the Tag Example on a project start page. Enclose it in { } if you use it.

BF_W

Day of the week (a numeric value, from 0 to 6). It is evaluated at execution time, so it cannot be evaluated in the Tag Example on a project start page. Enclose it in { } if you use it.

System-defined variables and the Tag Example on the start page

Some variables cannot be evaluated in the Tag Example on the start page because they are evaluated when the job starts. If you use them, enclose them in { }.

Examples:

BUILD_$B.{BF_T}
BUILD_$B.{BF_D}.{BF_T}
