🕔 Updated Timestamps

This information is based on observation, not the official documentation.
These lists are not exhaustive! Other things might change updated timestamps.

This article has not been updated to reflect recent changes to Slate.

Person Updated

[person].[updated] is updated immediately when updating a column on [person], such as First Name or Sex.

[person].[updated] is updated after the Person rules queue finishes any pass. Things that cause a Person record to enter the Person rules queue:

• Updating a person-scoped custom field.
• Updated an application-scoped custom field.
• Updating a column on [person], such as First Name or Sex.
• Running an import that has "Disable Update Queue" set to false (allows rules to fire).

Application Updated

[application].[updated] is updated after the Application rules queue finishes any pass. The timestamp will be close to [person].[updated] but may be a second or two later. Things that cause an Application record to enter the Application rules queue include:

• Updating an application-scoped field.
• Updating a column on [person], such as First Name or Sex. [is it queued instantly or after 1st person rules pass?] This "expansion" from person to application only happens if the application is in an active Round [ what about Period?].
