How Ipro eCapture Handles Dates - Time Zones
Starting with version 3.1, Ipro updated the date handling to preserve the date
with respect to daylight saving time. Ipro eCapture will discover the actual true
time, standard or daylight saving time, when the file was originally created.
This date and time is stored as if the file is being viewed on the day, time, and
machine of creation. This will work correctly regardless of the setting on the
machine’s local Windows clock, provided the option to enable this process is
selected in Ipro eCapture.
It is important to note that there is a difference between Windows and Ipro.
Windows will always show all dates with the same exact daylight setting based
on when you are viewing the files. Windows is completely based on the exact
moment you are viewing the files, not when they were created. Ipro will pre-
serve the daylight saving time as if you were viewing it in Windows on the
same day the date was created. To put it in simple terms, Windows is relative
to your current time and Ipro is preserving the original date/time as if you
were viewing it when the date was manifested. The Ipro method is more accu-
rate with regard to the actual incident. Ipro treats the file like it is being
viewed on the same day it was created or saved.
Starting with version 2.0, those dates which are collected during Discovery will
be converted to GMT. All other dates in processing and data extract should
reflect the Time Zone that you select. Jobs that were run in version 1.3 will
retain their existing dates.
Only jobs created in version 2.0 will have the GMT conversion applied to them.
The conversion of GMT will make de-duplication as accurate as possible
because the removal of a difference in time due to local computer settings.
The conversion to GMT will also make filtering accurate to the time zone
selected on the interface.
