# Data type formats

## Valid Date and DateTime Formats
Specify the right format for dateTime and date fields.

### DateTime
Use the yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss or yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ formats to specify DateTime fields.
* yyyy is the four-digit year
* MM is the two-digit month (01-12)
* dd is the two-digit day (01-31)
* 'T' is a separator indicating that time-of-day follows
* HH is the two-digit hour (00-23)
* mm is the two-digit minute (00-59)
* ss is the two-digit seconds (00-59)
* 'Z' is the reference UTC timezone

When a timezone is added to a UTC dateTime, the result is the date and time in that timezone. For example, 2021-10-10T12:00:00+05:00
is 2021-10-10T07:00:00Z and 2012-10-10T00:00:00+05:00 is 2012-10-09T19:00:00Z.

### Date
Use the yyyy-MM-dd format to specify date fields.
