Date

A Date column stores a date or date-time. Dates are what time-based operations key on: expirations trigger reminders, due dates drive overdue queues, and hire dates anchor onboarding timelines.

In one line

Dates and times: expirations, due dates, and anything workflows schedule around.

Good to know

Workflows can trigger relative to a date — 30 days before expiration, the day after a start date.
Use date-time only when the time of day matters; plain dates filter more cleanly.
