## <a id="section_m3p_myb_5db"></a>Description

Returns true if the time portion of the first date is after the time in the second date. The comparison disregards the date and timezone portions of the 2 dates. You can use the `timeAfter` function on any date object, which can come from a date widget, time widget, or a manually created date object.

For datetime comparison, use the [after (date1, date2)](/wcp_docs/vxt1526016930739.html) function.
