A Skills Builder user can capture a date in various formats including Epoch and translate it in a user-friendly manner.
The following strings are available to manage the date format, which helps translating dates that were either specified by a user or from a web service. This is useful for displaying a date back to a user or passing a date to another web service in the required format.
- <attribute_idenitifier>_iso_tz
- <attribute_idenitifier>_iso_no_tz
Example:
The attribute identifier = date_time
The supported date format is Epoch format (1560576600). The following strings can be used for APIs in the Outbound Mapping section to support:
ISO with time zone:
date_time_iso_tz -> ISO 8601 format with timezone (2019-06-15T11:00:00+05:30)
ISO without time zone:
date_time_iso_no_tz -> ISO 8601 format without timezone (2019-06-15T11:00:00)
Usage in the text response:
"Here is the start date in epoch: @context.date_time and in ISO 8601 format: @context.date_time_iso_tz and iso without timezone format: @context.date_time_iso_no_tz"
Text response replaced with actual values:
Here is the start date in epoch: 1560576600 and in ISO 8601 format: 2019-06-15T11:00:00+05:30 and iso without timezone format: 2019-06-15T11:00:00
