A Time field may contain any time of day.
In Calculation fields, the value used is that used by Unix and Linux systems to represent times, which is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 of the current day. In JavaScript fields, the value used is based on that used by Unix and Linux systems to represent times, but is instead, the number on milliseconds since 00:00:00.000 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, export, 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
Advanced Parameters
- Default Value
- By default, there is no default value. Alternatively, the default may be set to the current time as of entry or edit of the field within an entry.
« The Time formats parameter applies to the mobile {{{3}}} edition only »
- Time formats
- The format may be specified explicitly. Selecting Time formats causes a card to appear in which these properties may be changed:
- Language
- The language/locale may be set.
- Short time
- The user may select among a number of choices for the short form of a time.
- Long time
- The user may select among a number of choices for the long form of a time.
- Required
- Make entry of a value mandatory before saving an entry
Display Options
- Display in the list as
- Select among the following roles for the current field in the entries list:
- As a Regular field
- As an Entry Name
- As an Entry Description
- As an Entry Status
- Used in calendar as
- The field may be set to be used as a duration in the calendar.
- The field name
- Display the name of the field in the card entry (By default, On). By this, it is meant that the field name will or will not be displayed on either the Entry View card or the Entry Edit card.
- Font
- Choices are:
- Family: Regular, Light, Condensed, Thin, Medium. By default, Regular.
- Style: Normal, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic. By default, Normal.
- Size: By default, 18. Direct entry to change.
