# SYSTIME

> The SYSTIME function returns the current system time and is not affected by Client-side time adjustments. It is ideal for scenarios such as check-in and attendance tracking to prevent cheating. Supported across multiple YiDA scenarios, including form fields, workflow design, and integration & automation.

The **SYSTIME** function returns the current system time.

<Note>
  Even if the Client-side time has been manually adjusted, the SYSTIME function is not affected and still returns the server time. This helps prevent time-tampering fraud in scenarios such as check-in and attendance tracking.
</Note>

* Form (main table fields)
* Form (business Association rules)
* Form (validation)
