Created Time

Since version v0.204.0 (Jan 2024), NocoDB records the time when each record was created. NocoDB stores this time in a system field in the database. By default, the field is hidden in the table. To see this time in the UI, do one of these:

• Enable Show System Fields.
• Create a Created Time field manually with the steps below.

You can only hide the default system field in the UI. You cannot change, duplicate or delete it.

Create a CreatedTime field

1. Click the + icon to the right of Fields header.
2. In the dropdown modal, enter the field name (Optional).
3. In the dropdown, select the field type CreatedTime.
4. Click Save Field.

Cell display

The CreatedTime field is read-only in the table view. It shows a date and time string in the format DD MMM YYYY, HH:mm.

Good to know

• For a connected external database, NocoDB does not create the CreatedTime field automatically. You can create a CreatedTime field manually with the steps on this page.
• If the CreatedTime field is empty, the record is older than the created at feature (v0.204.0, Jan 2024). Before this feature release, you could remove this field from the table.
