Enter dates and times
When you enter dates or times on a form, you can type the values in your preferred format or select a date using the Calendar icon. For example, to enter the date "January 1, 2005," you can type "jan 1 05" or "1 1 05." To enter a time, you can type "8:00 am" or "08:00."
The information you enter is formatted according to the formatting options specified for the field. If you accidentally enter an invalid date (for example, "January 45, 2005"), you cannot leave the field until the error is corrected.
Time cells on your form may need the twenty-four hour format (for example,, "14:00:00 PM").
