Date

These settings specify what the source of the value is and how that value displays as the date in this field.

Interactions

Trigger Event

The Datepicker component can trigger these events:

• On Changed: This event is triggered when the date value is changed on the Datepicker component.
• On Load: This event might display as one of these values:
  • Data Service has run (On Load), where Data Service is the name of a data service assigned to the component
  • On Load (No Data Service), where no data service has been assigned to the component

Target Action

Depending on the target, the Datepicker component can perform a Get operation, a Run operation, or a Clear operation on the target component.

Style settings

  This setting determines whether a label is to display with the component.

Date Formats

This setting has these options:

• To display

  This option specifies what format to use in the Datepicker component display.

• For bindings (outbound)

  This option specifies what format to use when transmitting date data to another output destination.

• For bindings (inbound)

  This option specifies what format to use when receiving date data from an external source.

Note: 

• The ISO8601 designation is to indicate that the date format complies with the international (ISO) date standard.
• The M3 designation indicates the the date format is structured as required by the Infor M3 product (has no hyphens or slashes).
• The Raw timestamp designation for outbound bindings indicates the use of "Unix time".
• The Automatic designation for inbound bindings indicates the default option, which is the date object as taken from the browser.

Default Date

This setting has one option: Today's Date

When this option is selected, the current system date displays. When this option is cleared, you must define the source from which the date to be displayed comes.
