Entering Dates in the CSV Templates
In handling imports of CSV files, FlexNet Business Importer uses the default .NET data parsing algorithm. This uses the current culture setting (Regional Settings) for the account running the Business Importer on the application server doing the import to determine acceptable date/time formats.
This means that you can enter dates in CSV templates using the normal format in which dates are entered in the FlexNet Manager Suite web interface.
If in doubt, use what .NET calls the
UniversalSortableDateTimePattern
:YYYY-MM-DD
YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ssZ
Examples:2016-03-28
2017-09-21 11:14:00Z
2018-11-03 23:00:00Z
