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:

The properties of a Date and 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 - if set, the attribute will automatically be populated with this, unless another value is entered.

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

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

  • Precision - choose between Minutes and Seconds.

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