Time attribute

Store a time value​

A Time attribute can store a single time in ISO 8601 format: Thh:mm:ss.sss

Configuration​

When adding or editing a 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.

  • Code (read-only) - the attribute's Global Unique Code (Guc) identifier.
  • Name * - enter a distinct name that clearly identifies the attribute.
  • Description - describe what the attribute represents and how it's intended to be used. This helps users and AI agents to understand its purpose.
  • Required - if enabled, the attribute must be populated before an 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 afterwards!
  • Unique - if enabled, the attribute only accepts values that aren't already stored in other items of the design/interface.
  • Default value - the attribute is automatically populated with this value. It can usually be changed before saving, unless the attribute is also Read-only or excluded from an item form.

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

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

  • Precision * - choose between Minutes and Seconds.

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

    Available system tags

    • RequiredOnTaskStatus[Completed/Cancelled] - only relevant if the design/interface implements the Tasks interface. The attribute becomes required when a task's status changes to Completed or Cancelled.

    • ActionParameter[Dynamic] - for internal use only. Marks the attribute as a configurable parameter on a workflow action.

  • AQS agent enabled - if disabled, the attribute is excluded from AI agent queries.

Populate the attribute on items​

When creating or editing an item, select the attribute to open the time picker. Type valid numbers directly into the Hour, Minute and Second boxes.
