Valid Date-Time Formats

This page describes how dates can be parsed using valid date-time formats. This page is linked throughout the documentation where these date-time formats are needed or can be used.

Some functionality of the product allows you to manually enter a date-time. When entering a date-time, the question often arises as to what date-time format is acceptable.

List of available date-time formats

The common date-time format in the product is:

yyyy-MM-dd'T'H:m:s[.SSS][xxx][xx][X]

Note: Square brackets mean values can be optional. However, if you use ZonedDateTime to parse the date, then the timezone [X] of this format is required.

The following are examples of possible date-times that can be parsed using the above format.
