The hour column contains a specific time value in HH:MM format.

Via the API, the hour column supports read, filter, update, and clear operations.

Column Type	Implementation Type	Supported Operations
`hour`	`HourValue`	Read: Yes Filter: Yes Update: Yes Clear: Yes

Queries

Hour columns can be queried through the column_values field on items queries using an inline fragment on HourValue.

query {
  items(ids: [1234567890, 9876543210]) {
    column_values {
      ... on HourValue {
        hour
        minute
      }
    }
  }
}

import { ApiClient } from "@mondaydotcomorg/api";
const mondayApiClient = new ApiClient({ token: myToken });

const query = `
  query($itemIds: [ID!], $columnType: [ColumnType!]) {
    items(ids: $itemIds) {
      id
      column_values(types: $columnType) {
        column { title id }
        ... on HourValue {
          hour
          minute
        }
      }
    }
  }
`;

const variables = {
  itemIds: [9571351485, 9572374902],
  columnType: "hour"
};

const response = await mondayApiClient.request(query, variables);

Fields

You can use the following fields to specify what information your HourValue implementation will return.

Field	Description
column `Column!`	The column the value belongs to.
hour `Int`	The column's hour value.
id `ID!`	The column's unique identifier.
minute `Int`	The column's minute value.
text `String`	The column's value as text. Returns `""` if the column has an empty value.
type `ColumnType!`	The column's type.
updated_at `Date`	The column's last updated date.
value `JSON`	The column's JSON-formatted raw value.

Filter

You can filter items by hour values using the items_page object. The hour column supports the following operators:

Operators	Compare Values
`any_of`	`"Early morning"` `"Morning"` `"Afternoon"` `"Evening"` `"Night"`
`not_any_of`	`"Early morning"` `"Morning"` `"Afternoon"` `"Evening"` `"Night"`
`is_empty`	`[]`
`is_not_empty`	`[]`

Compare values

Hour column filters use predefined time ranges aligned with the UI. These values depend on the user's timezone settings when making the API call.

Early morning: 4:00 - 7:00 AM
Morning: 7:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Afternoon: 12:00 - 8:00 PM
Evening: 8:00 - 11:00 PM
Night: 11:00 PM - 4:00 AM

Example

The following query returns items with an hour column value in the Afternoon range:

query {
  boards(ids: 1234567890) {
    items_page(
      query_params: {
        rules: [
          {
            column_id: "hour"
            compare_value: ["Afternoon"]
            operator: any_of
          }
        ]
      }
    ) {
      items {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

import { ApiClient } from "@mondaydotcomorg/api";

const mondayApiClient = new ApiClient({ token: myToken });

const query = `
  query ($boardId: [ID!], $columnId: ID!, $operator: ItemsQueryRuleOperator!, $compareValue: CompareValue!) {
    boards(ids: $boardId) {
      items_page(
        query_params: {
          rules: [
            { column_id: $columnId, compare_value: $compareValue, operator: $operator }
          ]
        }
      ) {
        items {
          id
          name
        }
      }
    }
  }
`;

const variables = {
  boardId: 9571351437,
  columnId: "hour_mksvv75n",
  compareValue: ["Afternoon"],
  operator: "any_of"
};

const response = await mondayApiClient.request(query, variables);

Mutations

Update

You can update an hour column using change_multiple_column_values by passing a JSON object containing the hour and minute values in 24-hour time without leading zeroes (e.g., use 9, not 09).

mutation {
  change_multiple_column_values(
    item_id: 9876543210
    board_id: 1234567890
    column_values: "{\"hour\": {\"hour\": 16, \"minute\": 42}}"
  ) {
    id
  }
}

import { ApiClient } from "@mondaydotcomorg/api";

const mondayApiClient = new ApiClient({ token: myToken });

const query = `
  mutation ($boardId: ID!, $itemId: ID!, $columnValues: JSON!) {
    change_multiple_column_values(
      item_id: $itemId
      board_id: $boardId
      column_values: $columnValues
    ) {
      id
    }
  }
`;

const variables = {
  boardId: 9571351437,
  itemId: 9571351485,
  columnValues: JSON.stringify({
    hour_mksvv75n: {
      hour: 20,
      minute: 20
    }
  })
};

const response = await mondayApiClient.request(query, variables);

Clear

You can clear an hour column using change_multiple_column_values by passing null or an empty object in column_values.

mutation {
  change_multiple_column_values(
    item_id: 9876543210
    board_id: 1234567890
    column_values: "{\"hour\": null}"
  ) {
    id
  }
}

import { ApiClient } from "@mondaydotcomorg/api";

const mondayApiClient = new ApiClient({ token: myToken });

const query = `
  mutation ($boardId: ID!, $itemId: ID!, $columnValues: JSON!) {
    change_multiple_column_values(
      item_id: $itemId
      board_id: $boardId
      column_values: $columnValues
    ) {
      id
    }
  }
`;

const variables = {
  boardId: 9571351437,
  itemId: 9571351485,
  columnValues: JSON.stringify({
    hour_mksvv75n: null
  })
};

const response = await mondayApiClient.request(query, variables);
