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

  • Read-Only

    When this option is selected, the Datepicker component is disabled and read-only.

  • Show Label

    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.
