Filtering a Timestamp field using the date field

This feature is available starting with ISD 10.0.42.

This example specifies the date only and is automatically translated to the proper range.

The condition <TimeStampField> Equal to 2/7/2020 is automatically translated to the range <TimeStampField> >=2020020616000000 and <= 2020020715595999. These values are the timestamp values for the start and end of the date.

This filter returns all entries with timestamp values within the date 2/7/2020.
