The various BYOD templates accept multiple date formats for date fields (i.e. start_date, end_date, date). In order to ensure that these dates are parsed correctly, you will be asked to specify a date order upon upload of BYOD file. The three date order options are:
- Year-Month-Day
- Day-Month-Year
- Month-Day-Year
Your most recent date order selection will be saved on a per-channel basis for ease of use, but the date order can always be adjusted when a new file is imported.
Dates can be input with either slashes or dashes.
Years can be input as either 2-digit or 4-digit years. 2-digit years are assumed to be in the 2000s (e.g. 00 is assumed to be 2000).
Please see below for the complete list of accepted date formats.
