Using the current time

- Axure has a few different variables we can use…to work with time.…So if we've got something in one of our prototypes,…where we wanna show the real time or work…with time dynamically, we'll be able to do that.…I've got a sample prototype set up here…in my save changes exercise file…and it's got a couple of buttons in it down here.…If we preview and click this save changes button here,…it's showing us the time that we last saved.…But right now, this time is just static text.…So what we'll do now is pull the time dynamically…using variables so that we can show the actual time here…and make our prototype seem just a little more realistic.…

So let's go into our prototype now…and see how we can do this.…We'll click to get into this main content panel…and then click the save changes button…to get into this OnClick event.…That's where we're showing that last saved label.…So what I'll do now is add a set text action…so that we can set the text before we show that text label.…We'll drag that up at the top here…so we can set the text before it shows.…
