Unix Date From

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 Unix Date From algorithm is used to convert a Unix timestamp to a Date/Time string.

 

For example, if the source data/time is specified as 1560261698 (Unix timestamp in seconds 1560261698), using this step you can convert this value to human-readable date, like, June 11, 2019 2:01:38 PM.

 

Please check some other examples below:
