Use case

Calculate a deadline.

Suppose we have a process that has been running for 10 minutes. We could calculate when it started by using this component to subtract 10 minutes from the current date. The parameters would be set as follows:

"Date" would be "CurrentDate"
"Minutes" would be 10
"Result Variable Name" would be something like "processStartDate"
