Add a date and time element to an item

We add a date and time element to a site area or content item when we want the date and time element to be used for a specific site area or content item.

We can only add an element to a content item if the manage elements button has been enabled in the authoring template used by the content item.

1. Open or create a site area or content item.

2. Click Manage Elements.

3. Select Date and Time as the element type.

4. Enter a name. Do not use double-byte and non-ASCII characters.

5. Enter a display title to use as the title of the element displayed indexes and forms.

6. If we have created a text provider plug-in for a multi-locale site, we can also select the text provider and enter a key to look up a string from the selected text provider. The text provider displays a different display title for each language it has been configured for. The text entered in the Display Title field is only used if an appropriate display title is not available from the selected text provider, or if the text provider is not available.

7. Click Add. The date and time element is added to the form.

8. Go to the date and time element created:

   1. Click

      to select a date.

   2. Click

      to enter a time. Only the integers "0123456789" can be used when entering times.

   Only the integers "0123456789" can be used when entering times and dates.

9. Save the item form.
