DateTime Add

The information on this page relates to the new upgraded interface of the IConduct platform. To view information about the Classic version of the user interface, follow this link.

 

The DateTime Add algorithm is used to add the specified number of seconds to the given date.

 

For example, it may happen you have a DateTime value that is rounded to a whole minute in the source column. To preserve seconds, you can create a new DateTime instance (with the specified number of seconds). The value of a newly created instance will be the result of this manipulate step.
