Date field

You will require this information when you would like to add a new date field to a form.

  1. Once you have added a new field to the form by following the steps here, you will need to configure the field. To configure the field click the ‘Settings’ button to the right of the field, a pop-up will be displayed.

  2. The pop-up has two tabs on it:

    1. Content:

      1. Title - the title of the field

      2. Description - a description of the field, if required. This is shown to the user as help text for the field.

      3. Required - this defines if the user must populate this field in order to be able to submit the form.

      4. Start of the range - this determines the first available date for a user to pick.

      5. End of the range (including the value itself) - this determines the end of the range of dates a user can choose from

      6. Validators - a field that provides a variety of validators for you to use to ensure that you get the right type of input into the field you are configuring.

    2. Overrides (this functionality is for advanced users only, information on how to use these fields is built into the system help text. Any changes made on this tab can cause the form to behave unexpectedly):

      1. Default Expression

      2. Enabling Expression

      3. Custom Validator

      4. Server-Side Variable

  3. Don’t forget to save any changes you have made to the field.
