The Creation Timestamp, Import Timestamp and Publish Timestamp fields store the time and date of the following events:
-
Creation Timestamp: Stores the date and time at which an assay has been created from tools such as Blend and AssayWorkup.
-
Import Timestamp: Stores the date and time at which an assay has been imported from a .cdb (crude database) file.
-
Publish Timestamp: Stores the date and time at which an assay has been last updated on a share.
Whether any data is shown in these fields depends on the following rules:
