Change time format in questionId - exported reports to ISO 8601 #846

Closed mtwestra closed 8 years ago

mtwestra commented 10 years ago

At the moment, we export dates in the raw data report in a custom format.

The reports which use the questionIds as column headers is used for import to other systems. Therefore, it is important to have a standard format for the time. The proposal is to use ISO 8601, which gives times the following shape: 2014-10-08T20:27:16+00:00.

This will only apply to the raw reports that use the questionIds as column headers. The raw data report that is used for data cleaning can retain the current format.

How about we add a time zone selector and print out the times is a much more "readable" format.

In the future we need to allow the users to select if they want their reports to have a more "user friendly/readable" format of collected data in a report (not raw data format). This can also then include the option for the user to decide whether they want the IDs to be part of the reports or not. Same with codes. These questions can be part of a Report Settings functionality.

@joycarpediem @janagombitova when using question id as column header is not for users, is for integration with other systems. It shouldn't be a user friendly format, it should be a system parseable format.
