Timestamp fields are based on a subset of ISO 8601. When being as precise as possible the format of a time string is:
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss
yyyy is the year
MM is the month
dd is the day
HH is the hour (0 to 23)
mm is the minutes
ss is the seconds
-, T and : are literal characters
The precision may be reduced by removing as many time indicators as wanted.
The following are all valid timestamps:
yyyy
yyyy-MM
yyyy-MM-dd
yyyy-MM-ddTHH
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss
Yate does not enforce the formatting of timestamps while editing, however the Log>Validation errors will identify all malformed timestamp fields. The most common usage of timestamps is in the Year field.
