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.

The properties of a Time attribute

  • 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 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 select a custom tag or relevant system tag.

Populate the attribute on items​

When creating or editing an item, select the attribute and then type valid numbers directly into the Hour, Minute and Second boxes. Select Save to finish.
