Description
Check a recorded substitute role within a closed date interval.
Project records separate planned effort, recorded time, forecast assumptions, resource buffers and role authority. A probability-weighted impact is one scenario term, and a calendar-day shift is not a business-calendar calculation. Local progress and workload shares need consistent scope and periods before broader interpretation.
Check a recorded substitute role within a closed date interval.
When to use this tool
Use Approval Substitute Role Date Flag when you already have asOfDate, substituteStartDate, substituteEndDate, roleMatches and need to check a recorded substitute role within a closed date interval.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter asOfDate, substituteStartDate, substituteEndDate, roleMatches. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read withinRecordedSubstitution. Inspect withinRecordedSubstitution before interpreting the associated values.
Parse real UTC dates and require end>=start; return roleMatches && start<=asOf<=end.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| asOfDate | As Of Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| substituteStartDate | Substitute Start Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| substituteEndDate | Substitute End Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| roleMatches | Role Matches | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| withinRecordedSubstitution | Role match plus a closed date interval including both start and end; no authority is authenticated. | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Both dates are included; the role flag and dates do not establish actual delegated authority or approval validity.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile the complete plan, resource calendar, costs and action history for an operational question. Use the actual business calendar or delegated-role documentation when required, rather than treating one supplied offset or Boolean as that full workflow.
