Adding a Time Span Field to a Form

How to add a Time Span field to a form

Use a Time Span field to calculate the hours between two-time fields on a form. Once calculated, a time span field works like any other number field and can be used in other calculated fields. Time spans always display 2 decimal places. Time span fields help analyze time-sensitive data, such as calculating response and resolution time spent when troubleshooting a service call.

1. From the Actions/Container menu in the Form Designer, click the Time Span Field input.
   
2. The time span field is added to the form. 
3. Click  (Edit) open the Edit Time Span Field window.
   
4. On the Settings tab, mark Hidden if you don’t want the time span field to display in the app. 
5. Enter a label for the time span field. 
6. In the Tooltip field, enter the tip/hint you may want to include for the time span field. 
7. Select the starting time and ending time fields.
8. Specify how you want the time span rounded.
9. Click the Styles tab to specify the style settings for the time span field. See Using the Styles Tab for more information. 
10. Click the Validations tab to create a validation for the time span field. See Creating Field Level Validations for more information.
11. Click OK to save your entries. Click Cancel to close the Edit Time Span Field window without saving changes.
