I couldn’t help but to notice a new attribute in object index called Timestamp and I am really excited about it.
Is this the combined latest timestamp for creation or update? Or is it something else?
@lubos, could you please describe how this works in detail?
I think it is related to the last update. I requested it for syncing with other softwares
Yes interesting addition to the API. From my observations it appears that it is actually UtcTicks rather than (say) the Unix Epoch Timestamp.
The docs indicate that The value of the UtcTicks property represents the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that have elapsed since 12:00:00 midnight on January 1, 0001
For me (in php) I use the Unix Epoch Timestamp. Python I believe also uses the January 1st, 1970 at UTC as day 1.
Just an FYI the conversion of UtcTicks to Unix TimeStamp would be:
TimeStamp = (UtcTicks - 621355968000000000) / 10000000
Hopefully @lubos will confirm it is “UtcTicks” being represented.
It is UtcTicks and it represents when the object was last time updated (or created if it was never updated).
Thanks a lot. This is a very useful addition.
Will this information be available in the user interface as well?
FYI - a formula to convert the timestamp to a date in Excel
=Timestamp/864000000000-693593
