What is the Date Element?

The Date Element allows users to capture the past, present or future date stored in a localized format. In the U.S., the date will appear as Month-Day-Year.

PLEASE NOTE: You can change the date format by following the instructions located here. 

How do I add the Date Element to my form?

To add the Date Element, please follow the instructions below.

STEP 1. With your form loaded in the Form Builder, click the Date button from the left-hand menu. 

STEP 2. On the right-hand side, you'll see the element properties. Enter the name of your element.  

PLEASE NOTE: If you check the Based on Label option, it will create a data column based on the Label on the element.

STEP 3. Save your form.

iFormBuilder Tip: By putting Date() into the Dynamic Value field of the element, you can default the element to the current date.

If you don't want the user to edit the field, you can hide the element from the device by putting the word false in the Condition Value field. The element will still be populated with the current date.
