Date & DateTime
Audience: Admins, Developers, Solution Architects
Purpose: Explains how Date and DateTime fields work in Kizen, including business time zone behavior and the required ISO 8601 formats for API updates.
Overview
Kizen supports both a Date and DateTime field. It’s important to understand how this type field works, especially when dealing with timezones.
Each business has a “business time zone” that controls how dates are displayed. This can be viewed and configured from the business information settings page:
Date and DateTime information is stored using the configured business time zone.
Updating Date Fields
When updating a date field, the value should be passed to the API in the ISO 8601 format (“YYYY-MM-DD”). For example: 2024-10-09.
Updating DateTime Fields
When updating a datetime field, the value should be passed to the API in the ISO 8601 format, in UTC time. For example: 2024-10-09T05:00:00Z. The API also accepts datetime values in a different timezone: 2024-10-09T05:00:00-0500
What's Next
In the next section, Numbers, you’ll learn how Kizen supports numeric fields such as integers, decimals, and currency, and how currency options are defined for numeric fields.
