!!! note
    When ingesting data into a Pipeline Workspace via the AI Catalog Import module, if DataRobot cannot interpret the column as a date, time, or timestamp, it is converted to a string column and the data type must be manually updated. Data type detection accepts the same [date and time formats](file-types#date-and-time-formats) as the AI Catalog. However, if **Force Column Types to Strings** on the module's **Details** tab is enabled, date and time values are also converted to string columns.
