Basic Form Editor
Date Fields
How Administrators add date selection fields to forms, with options for default values and validation rules.
The Date tool adds a date picker field. It can be set to a default value (e.g., Current Date) and have validation rules applied to restrict date selection (e.g., prevent future dates). It can be mandatory and include field help.
Steps to Add a Date Field
- Open the form in the Form Editor.
- Drag the 'Date' button to the desired location.
- Enter the 'Name' (label) for the field.
- Optionally, 'Add field help'.
- Select a 'Default value' from the dropdown if required (e.g., Current Date).
- Set 'Mandatory' to Yes or No.
- Optionally, configure 'Advanced validation rules'. Select the button, choose the relevant 'Rule' (e.g., Before or on Today, Today plus one month), and click 'Ok'.
- Select 'Ok' on the main Date configuration window.
- Select 'Save' at the bottom of the Form Definition page.
