Created Time

This article explains how to create & work with a Created Time field.

Since version v0.204.0 (Jan 2024), NocoDB internally captures the time when record was created. This information is stored as a system field in the database & is hidden in the table by default. To view this information on the UI, you can either enable Show System Fields OR create a Created Time field manually by following the steps below.

Default system field can be only hidden from UI. It cannot be modified, duplicated or deleted.

  • When connected to an external database, CreatedTime field is not created automatically. You can create a CreatedTime field manually by following the steps below.
  • CreatedTime field is empty indicates the record predates the created at feature (v0.204.0, Jan 2024). Prior to this feature release, it was possible to remove this from the table.

  1. Click on + icon to the right of Fields header
  2. On the dropdown modal, enter the field name (Optional).
  3. Select the field type as CreatedTime from the dropdown.
