DateTimePicker

Component definition

The DateTimePicker component allows a user to select both a date and a time for a form variable.  The date part of this component opens into a web calendar and alternately allows text input, and the time selection part uses either bumpers or text input to set the time.  This component is convenient when both date and time for an event need to be set, rather than using a date picker and a time picker separately and then merging the values.

Definition of component input value or values

While this component does not directly accept input values, the value on form load does assume the value of the "Output Data" variable if that variable was initialized upstream of the form.

Definition of component output value or values

The output of this component is of the datetime data type.

Component settings

Functionality Tab  
Output Paths Select whether completion of this component is required, optional, or ignored on form submission.
Output Data The name of the variable output by this component.
Start Today Selecting this option sets the date to the current date time at runtime by default.
Date Default Value

The default on-load value of the date part of this component.  If the Output Data variable has been initialized upstream of this form and has a valid value, then this option is ignored.  

Additionally, the "Start Today" option overrides this option, and when selected, this option is hidden.

Time Default Value The default on-load value of the time part of this component.   If the Output Data variable has been initialized upstream of this form and has a valid value, then this option is ignored.  
Obey Time Zone When this option is selected, this component considers the time zone selected in the "Entered Value Time Zone" option.
Entered Value Time Zone Select which time zone this component should use when time zone considerations or evaluations are made.
