Date Property Type

The date property type is used to store a calendar date value. This value is stored internally as the number of days before or after the Agentry epoch date of January 1st, 2001. Negative values reflect dates prior to epoch. A date property is displayed on the Agentry Client in the format MM/DD/YYYY by default.

The date property may also be unset or invalid. In this case the year portion of the date property is set to zero (0000). This condition may be checked to determine if the date property has been set.

Date Property Type Attributes
