Description

The Calendar tool provides a method to find dates using a standard month calendar. There are two forms of the Calendar tool, date only or date and time, as shown below.

Format

Java Client

Web

Date

Date + Time

The Web interface uses a separate field for the time element.

Which form appears depends on the data type of the field being entered. The menu link and most date fields are date only. The time portion will appear if the data type is set to date & time (time stamp).

The Web version of the control is much simpler and only allows selection of a date.

Using the Java Client Calendar tool is easy. Use the controls to select the month and year and then double click the date. For the date/time version, there is also a handy check mark icon which you can click.

There are three icons to assist you:

  • C - Clear - will clear the date in the date field

  • x - Cancel - close the Calendar tool, making no changes

  • * - Today - set today's date

The following keyboard controls can be used:

  • <Pg Dn> will increment the month

  • <Pg Up> will decrement the month

  • <Up Arrow> will decrement by a week

  • <Down Arrow> will increment by a week

  • <Left Arrow> will decrement by a day

  • <Right Arrow> will increment by a day

  • <Enter> will close the Calendar tool, saving the date/time if the tool was opened from a field.

  • <Esc> will cancel the and close the tool.
