Use time stamp in database
If any item in your
DB is a time stamp item, check this box.
-
Name of the time stamp items are
Put any item
that should be considered a time stamp item here. Put a "*" in front of the
name of the item indicates that the value of this item should be entered by
user. The default time stamp is entered by POD using the current system
time.
-
Name of the master time stamp item is
When you
specify that entries of your DB should expire and be deleted after a certain
period, there should be only one time stamp out of all time stamp items that
should be checked for item's expiration. The name of that time stamp is
indicated here as master time stamp.
-
Time stamps display format, respectively
(1-10)
The format by which the time stamps should be displayed. You should enter
as many values here as you entered in option 2 above. Note that in option 2 you enter the
names of the time stamp items, but here you enter a number for each of the
time stamp items. The number must be between 1 to 10. The explanation of the
format the number stands for is below:
1: mm/dd/yyyy
2: Abbreviated
day of week name, mm/dd/yy
3: mm/dd/yyyy, hh:mm
4: mm/dd/yy, hh:mm
am/pm
5: dd/mm/yyyy
6: Abbreviated day of week name, dd/mm/yy
7:
dd/mm/yyyy, hh:mm
8: dd/mm/yy, hh:mm am/pm
9: yyyy/mm/dd
10:
yy/mm/dd, hh:mm am/pm
Please note that if, say, you specified format 4 for
a time stamp item whose value should be entered by user, that user must use
format 4 to enter the value to have POD correctly recognize the format and
store the time value correctly. Or else POD will simply store the string user
entered, and this string will not be sorted correctly. You should display the
format information to your user if you let them enter the time stamp value
themselves.
-
Life span of entries in days (0 means never
expire)
With this choice, any item that is
this number of days older than current time will get deleted. This provides
a way to let old entries expire by themselves. If you do not want
any entry in your DB to get expired any time, enter 0 here. Only integer is
allowed in this option.
