Using Date Fields

Date fields are like text fields and can be edited in the same way, but are subject to validation.

Arrows will appear next to a date field when it is active, unless it is a 'display only' field.

Acceptable formats for a value of May 5th, 2012:

5/5/12 05/05/12 05/05/2012 5.5.12 05.05.12 05.05.2012 5-5-12 05-05-12 05-05-2012 050512

You will see that you can use separators such as ‘/ . -’ or no separator at all.
If you choose not to use any separators you will need to ensure that all six digits are entered, so for single digits (i.e., numbers below 10) use leading zeros.
