Creation and Last Modified Times

Cradle project databases have always recorded the creation and last modification dates of all items and cross references. Cradle-5.3 also stores the creation time and the last modified time for all items of all types and for cross references. These are held in the database as 6 character strings in the form: hhmmss, such as 201918 for 8:19.18pm.

These new attributes are accessible in all parts of Cradle in the same way that the creation date and last modification dates are accessible.

Aside from creating greater precision in the recording of timestamp of creations and item modifications, this change ensures that the handling of suspect items is now more accurate so an item is marked suspect based on the full date and time of its last modification when compared to the date and time of the last modification of the item at the From end of the cross reference to the item.

The creation and last modification times are exported and imported in the same manner as the creation and last modification dates are handled.
