Date and Time attribute

Store a date and time value

A Date and Time attribute can store a single date and time in ISO 8601 format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss

Configuration

When adding or editing a Date and Time attribute on a design/interface, you can configure the following properties. These determine how the attribute will behave when users populate its value on corresponding items.

• Name * - enter a distinct name that clearly identifies the attribute.

• Required - if enabled, the attribute will need to be populated with a value before the item can be saved. It can't be left blank!

• Read-only - if enabled, the attribute can only be populated when creating items. It can't be edited later!

• Unique - if enabled, the attribute won't accept a value that's already stored in the same attribute on another item of this design/interface.

• Default value - the attribute will automatically be populated with this value, which can usually be changed before saving (unless it's Read-only or excluded from an item form).

• Min - the attribute won't accept a value occurring before this date and time.

• Max - the attribute won't accept a value occurring after this date and time.

• Precision * - choose between Minutes and Seconds.

• Tags - use the Tag Manager to select a custom tag or relevant system tag.

Populate the attribute on items

When creating or editing an item, select the attribute to enter a value using the calendar picker. Once you've selected the year, month and day, select the time in the blue bar and type directly into the Hour, Minute and Second boxes. Select Save to finish.
