Plan and Create the Production Form
Date Field
Date field
Date fields allow you to collect and save date and time information in
database date-type format using the mask, or pattern, you specify.
Date masks available are MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, and YYYY/
MM/DD. Time masks are None - Date Only, 12 hour format, and 24
hour format.
The date can be entered by the Production operator or automatically
captured using the system date. You can specify that the system date
and time be captured and saved to the database when a new record
is created, when a changed record is explicitly saved, or both. If the
date will be entered by the operator, you can specify a prompt for the
field. Consider including the date mask you selected in the prompt, as
in the example.
You can also specify the font and color attributes of the operator
prompt and the text the Production operator will enter. See the online
help topic “Add a date field to a Production Form” for step-by-step
instructions.
