Check if time is within last 3 hrs

Hi all,

I am looking to check if there has been a event within the last 3 hrs for three different categories.

If an event has been detected in the last 3 hours, I would like a status column that says "Registry In Sync", otherwise the status column should read "Out of Sync". Something like the following:

Type	_time	Status
A	2021-08-10 09:27:07	Out of Sync
B	2021-08-23 01:24:56	Registry is in Sync
C	2021-08-19 23:25:28	Out of Sync

The important this is that it is categorised by the Type field.

I appreciate any and all help!

Thanks @ITWhisperer

Is there any way to rename "_time" to "Last Update" without changing how the date format looks?

_time has a default format so if you rename it, you have to reapply the formatting, you can do this with fieldformat so it doesn't change the value of the field, just how it is displayed.
