Used by: Forms
This widget is used to select a date and time (timestamp) that will be used by a form upon submission.
-
If no Date Time Selector widget is present, the values entered into a form will be logged with the current time as the timestamp.
-
If the Date Time Selector widget is set to the current time, the offsets from the form widgets will not apply. There is no recording of future events.
-
If a Date Time Selector is present, the values will be logged with the time set on the Date Time Selector. (A event will be recorded at the current time that a form was submitted for the timestamped time.)
-
If Time Offset and Time Unit settings are specified, the timestamp will be calculated as:
Date Time Selector's timestamp + (Time Offset × Time Unit)
For example, if a Numeric Entry has a Time Offset of 15 minutes and the Date Time Selector is set to 11:00 AM, the Numeric Entry's value will be logged at 11:15 AM.
