# DateFields

Allows you to specify the fields from which to read the document date. IDOL Server treats these fields as DateType fields for the documents that you send in the index action.

NOTE: Micro Focus recommends that you use field configuration to set DateType fields, instead of setting this parameter for a single index action.

Separate multiple fields with commas. There must be no space before or after a comma. You can use wildcards.

When identifying fields use the formats:

- `/FieldName` to match root-level fields

- `*/FieldName` to match all fields except root-level

- `/Path/FieldName` to match fields that the specified path points to.

If you specify only the field name, IDOL Server automatically adds a `*/` to it.

Actions: | DREADD DREADDDATA
Type: | String
Default: |
Example: | `DateFields=Document/DREDate,*/myDocDate` In this example, IDOL Server extracts dates from any fields that are called `DREDate` that are contained below the Document level and from any fields that are called `myDocdate`.
