Whenever fields require a date, you can enter a date in the field or use the 
button to select a date from the calendar. To enter a date, you must enter it in the format configured by your system administrator. If you are unsure of the format, you can use the calendar to select a date.
Some date fields also enable you to enter a time. When you use the calendar on these fields, a time selector also appears:
If there is a duration icon 
next to the calendar icon, you can enter a relative date. For more information, refer to Using Relative Dates and Times.
 |
Hint
There are two different ways that the calendar and duration widgets appear within AudienceView depending on how the date/time fields should be used:
-
: The date/time field should be used to set an absolute date/time (e.g. an on-sale date).
-
: The date/time field should be used to set a relative date/time (e.g. the amount of time Online users have to complete a transaction once the tickets have been selected).
|
To add a date using the calendar, complete the following:
-
Click next to the appropriate date field.
The AudienceView Calendar dialog box appears with the current date selected.
-

|

Information

It only resets the date, and not the time. |

-
If the date field is enabled for time selection, optionally select the desired hour and minute from the time selection dropdown lists.
Times use the format hh:mm:ss. The minute dropdown contains options in 15 minute intervals (00, 15, 30 and 45). You can specify a different minute by entering the value directly into the 'Time' field in the AudienceView Calendar dialog box. Since you can only select the hour and minute, the application will insert 00 for seconds. You can edit this, and any other time-based information, in the 'Relative Date' field once you have applied your date/time selection.
If you do not enter the time, a value of 00:00:00 (midnight) is assumed.
