Date & time fields
Date fields store points in time as real date values, so they sort chronologically, filter by range, and can drive automation and Formula date math. Boost.space has two.
Date
A calendar date, with no time of day.
- Stores: a single date.
- Behaves: opens a date picker; filter with before / after / equals and sort chronologically.
- Use for: deadlines, invoice dates, birthdays, start/end dates — anywhere the time of day doesn't matter (also avoids timezone confusion).
Date and time
A date together with a time.
- Stores: a timestamp (date + time).
- Behaves: opens a date-and-time picker.
- Use for: appointments, event starts, precise timestamps, SLA deadlines.
Working with dates
- Automation — a scenario or trigger can fire relative to a date (e.g. when a due date passes).
- Formula — use date functions like Date difference, Date add, Workdays, and Format date. See Formula fields.
- Rollup — return the Earliest date, Latest date, or Date range across linked records. See Rollup fields.
