    Hi I was wondering if there’s an option to show the date and timestamp a record was last edited by user? Can this data also be exported to Excel and sort by latest date edited?

    Appreciate the help

    There is a field “date_updated” that contains a timestamp of the latest update to the record. It’s not normally displayable, but if you use the “fields” attribute in the shortcode, you can make it appear. You can also use it in sorting.

    For example:

    [pdb_list fields="first_name,last_name,date_updated" orderby=date_updated order=desc]

    To export the field, go to the Manage Database Fields page and under the “Record Info” tab. Make sure “CSV” is checked for that field.

    I would need a date_created field, as we try to set up a registration for an event where the early birds get a reduced fee. Is that possible?

    And I would need to export the field to CSV. If a hidden date field with the current date of the first creation of the record could be provided?

    Each record has a “date_recorded” field where that timestamp is kept. You can see it when you edit the record, or you can configure it to appear i the admin list of records.

    Go to the Manage Database Fields page, under the “record info” tab you’ll see it.
