“Works out round a time whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
14:07 to 15 min → 14:00
What it does
Round a moment to the nearest quarter hour, half hour, hour or any number of minutes. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: round a moment to the nearest quarter hour, half hour, hour or any number of minutes.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
