Configure Date and Time Fields

A Date Time control allow users to enter date and time together. Optionally, add a Date and a Time control to your web form to allow users to enter date and time separately. The Date Time, Date and Time controls are available in the Basic Palette.

To configure a Date Time control:
  1. From the Basic Palette, drag and drop a Date Time control onto the canvas.
  2. Select the control and edit its properties on the Properties pane's General tab.

Note:

When a user enters data into a Date Time control, the timezone information of the user is saved (in UTC). When other users access this data, the date-time information is displayed in timezones specific to them. This timezone conversion capability is available only in the Date Time control and not in the separate Date and Time controls.
