Date and time aspects

When a rule specifies property types with the DATE or DATE_TIME data type, there are a number of options for querying that data. You can create rules that affect conditions that use specific aspects of temporal information.

DATE_AND_TIME

Apply the rule to conditions that include both a date and time. For example, you might specifically allow searches for people seen on a certain date at a certain time.

DATE

Apply the rule to conditions that focus on a date. For example, you might allow searches for people born on a particular day.

TIME

Apply the rule to conditions that focus on a time. For example, you might allow searches for financial transactions that regularly occur at a set time.

DAY_OF_MONTH

Apply the rule to conditions that focus on the day of the month. For example, you might allow searches for people paid on a specific day of the month.

MONTH

Apply the rule to conditions that focus on the month. For example, you might allow searches for people born in a particular month.

QUARTER

Apply the rule to conditions that focus on the quarter of the year. For example, you might allow searches for financial results.

YEAR

Apply the rule to conditions that focus on a specific year. For example, you might allow searches for people born in a particular year.

DAY_OF_WEEK

Apply the rule to conditions that focus on a specific day of the week. For example, you might allow searches for events that always occur on a Tuesday.

WEEK_OF_YEAR

Apply the rule to conditions that focus on the week of the year, as calculated using the ISO week date system. For example, you might allow searches for weekly sales results.
