A Time field may contain a value that is used to represent a particular time of day -- specifically, the value stored is the same as that used by Unix and Linux systems to represent dates, which is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 of the current day.

This value allows time arithmetic to work readily, by merely doing integer arithmetic with the value.

When a time value is interpreted for import, expert, or display in hours, minutes, and seconds, the current locale is used. The format for import and export can be specified in program settings.

Name
Textual, case-insensitive field identifier that can include spaces; it's best to avoid characters that can be used as operators, though (standard across all field types)
Hint
Textual, case-insensitive field identifier that can include spaces
