The formats that you can use for date or time inputs to mashables depend on what individual mashables support. In most cases, you should consult mashable source documentation or ask your MashZone NextGen administrator for information on valid date and time formats.

For inputs to mashups, MashZone NextGen uses the datetime format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.szzzzzz. This is the XML dateTime datatype which is based on the ISO 8601 standard. If no time information is defined in the input, MashZone NextGen treats this as just a date. No default time is assigned.
