Adding a Date/Time Input to a Form

How to add a date/time input to a form

Accurate date and time entry helps streamline scheduling, tracking, and reporting. It allows users to complete forms more quickly while ensuring consistent, reliable data. 

The Date/Time input captures the date and time in a single field based on a user’s local time zone. The Date/Time input stores the value the same as a Date/Time Stamp input, but unlike the Date/Time Stamp input, the Date/Time input is editable.

Date/Time inputs follow the ISO 8601 standard for consistent formatting across systems.

The Date/Time inputs are available anywhere standard inputs are supported, including:

  • Search fields 

  • Data maps

  • Deep links

  • Repeatable groups

  • Field and table cell validations

  • Field conditions (can be referenced but not used to drive conditions)

  • Sections

  • Reports (as a date version, not a string)

To add a date/time input to a form, complete the following:

  1. From the Input menu in the Form Designer, click Date/Time.
  2. The Date/Time field is added to the form.
  3. Click on it to view the Date/Time input slider.
  4. In the Label field, enter a label for the Date/Time input. For standalone fields, the field label is displayed as defined on the form, whereas, in tables, the row or column name becomes the label for the Date/Time input.
  5. Select the column span size for the date/time input.
  6. Expand Input Options.
  7. To restrict dates in the past or future, enter the days before or after today's date for the restriction.
  8. Expand Style to specify the style settings for the date/time input. See Applying Styles to an Input for more information. 
  9. Expand Validations to create a validation for the date/time input. See Creating Field Level Validations for more information.
  10. Expand Field Condition tab to create a condition for the date/time input.
  11. Save your entries.
  12. Click (Preview) to view how the Date/Time input will appear in the app. A Date/Time icon is added to the form and when clicked the current date and time appears on the form.
  13. To edit the date or time, simply click in the field to open a calendar where you can select the date and edit the time.
