Time field |
Lets you define the time. You can use the spin control in the field to change the time, or you can type a value. This field appears only if you access the calendar control for a field that requires a time. |
Time zone drop-down list |
Lets you select a time zone. This field appears only if you access the calendar control for a field that requires a time. |
Save button |
Lets you save your selections. You can also click outside of the control to save your selections. |
Cancel button |
Lets you cancel your selections and leave the field blank or left with the values it contained before you accessed the calendar control. |
NOTE: You can set Strict Date Format in User Preferences. This preference enforces a deployment-wide standard date format and overrides all display formats defined in Siebel Tools. It applies to date information only. For example, a particular control is set to MM/DD/YY hh:mm where strict date format is set to DD/MM/YYYY. The date portion of that format is replaced by the strict date format and the resulting format is DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm.
