Less-technical synonym for "timestamp"

I've already looked at Is there a word for "a point in time"?, but there doesn't seem to be any answers other than "timestamp". While I agree that it is the most technically accurate description, is there a term that lends itself more to a business environment?

For example, I have a spreadsheet with a list of customer feedback. The date and time that each issue was reported is listed in a single column. What would be a good business-y name to call that column? I'm looking for something that means "timestamp" without using a term that could be…misconstrued…as overly technical.

EDIT: To be more specific and concise, I'm looking for a term that means "timestamp", is used more popularly in a business environment than "timestamp", and is generic enough to always mean "timestamp" with almost any data.


Solution 1:

Just have it as Time. If you want to be specific then say Time Log, or Logged Time assuming that the word log isn't too technical.

Timestamp is not a recent term and has been in existence for a very long time. I highly doubt it will be misconstrued as something 'too technical'.

Solution 2:

A possible solution might be to simply name it after the GMT offset, e.g. instead of naming the column as "Date", you name it as "GMT +8:00".

Other alternatives:

  • Date/Time or Date & Time

  • Logged On

  • On

  • When

Solution 3:

Moment doesn't work?

a particular time : a precise point in time
