# dateInterval

The time at which the interaction started and its duration.

## Declaration

```swift
var dateInterval: DateInterval? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this property to reflect time-related information for the interaction. For example, you could use this property to reflect the duration of a phone call or the timestamp of a message. At initialization time, the date portion is set to the current time and the duration is set to 0.
