Date fields, such as Date Created and Date of Event, store a date.
You can use Configure Columns dialog box to display date fields in columns, and then sort or filter based on dates.
Dates appear on the status bar.
You can configure the dictionary, classified dictionary or reversal indexes to include Date Created and Date Modified.
You can configure document to include Date Created, Date Modified and Date of Event.
In Lexicon, the Date Modified timestamp is updated for all associated lexical entries when you add or remove members of lexical or cross reference relations.
For example, in a part/whole lexical relationship, if you had a whole house with parts wall, floor, and ceiling, the timestamp for each of these entries updates when you add another part, such as door. This happens even though you cannot see any visual change to those entries.
Be aware of this when you sort or use the Restrict feature in a Date Modified column.
