You can compare values using the following terms.

As the comparison value can use static data or specify one of the ‘Macro {N}’ parameters. |
In this case, the parameter can be mapped to a sterilized array of values.
Instructions for obtaining a sterilized array of values can be found at the Creatio academy. |

To compare you can use the following variants:
Constant: Using to compare with static data. The constant can be the value of different data types supported in the system.
System constant: Using to compare with a system variable. For example, the ‘Current date’ system variable has the ‘Date’ data type and always contains the current date value.
The system variable list:
Current yearCurrent monthCurrent dateCurrent date and timeCurrent date, start of the day: It has the ‘Date and time’ data type and contains the current date value with ‘0:00’ time.Current date, end of the day: It has the ‘Date and time’ data type and contains the current date value with ‘23:59’ time.Current contact: This is the current user's contact in the Creatio.New IdParameter: Using to compare with business process parameter value or other element parameter value. To compare specify one of the ‘Macro {N}’ parameters and map the business process parameter or other elements parameter to the ‘Macro {N}’ parameter.
