Date / Time Type

The Date / Time type is used for date and time values. This type includes several attributes to control the format, range, and default value of the date/time entries.

Attributes for Date / Time Properties

• Includes Time

  • The Includes Time attribute indicates whether the date property should include time values. When set to True, the property accepts both date and time values.

• Format

  • Format specifies the accepted date format for the Date / Time property. This attribute ensures that date entries conform to a specific format, such as "YYYY-MM-DD" or "MM/DD/YYYY."

  • Validation Rules:

    1. The Format must be selected when the Date / Time type is chosen.

• Min Value

  • Min Value sets the earliest allowable date or date/time. This ensures that entries do not fall below the specified minimum date.

  • Validation Rules:

    1. The Min Value should be a valid date or datetime.

• Max Value

  • Max Value determines the latest allowable date or date/time. This ensures that entries do not exceed the specified maximum date.

  • Validation Rules:

    1. The Max Value should be a valid date or datetime.

    2. The Max Value must be greater than or equal to the Min Value.

• Default Value

  • Default Value sets a predefined date or date/time for the property when no other value is provided. This value must be between the Min Value and Max Value.

  • Validation Rules:

    1. If the Min Value is specified, the Default Value must be greater than or equal to the Min Value.

    2. If the Max Value is specified, the Default Value must be less than or equal to the Max Value.

    3. If Min Value nor Max Value is specified, the Default Value should be a valid date or datetime.
