Date Field Categories
Date: Stores a single date, such as date of birth or date of joining. e.g., such as January 1, 1990.
Time: Stores only time values, like departure time or arrival time. e.g., 9:00 AM.
Date and Time: Stores both date and time values, such as departure date and time or arrival date and time. e.g., such as December 31, 2023, 11:59 PM.
Date Range: It allow CDs to select dates for a specific range (from a date and to date). e.g., like January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 for an academic year. Know more about Date Range Calendar.
