Date/Time Range Field: Capture Start and End Times in One Field
📄 Date/Time Range Field: Capture Start and End Times in One Field
The Date/Time Range Field allows users to enter both a start and end time in a single field. It’s ideal for tracking scheduled activities, event timing, or booking/reservation-style workflows.
🔁 What Is a Date/Time Range Field?
Unlike the standard Date/Time field, the Range field captures two values:
- Start Date and/or Time
- End Date and/or Time
You can configure it for:
- Date Range (e.g., Feb 1 – Feb 10)
- Time Range (e.g., 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM)
- Date + Time Range (e.g., Mar 2 @ 8:00 AM – Mar 2 @ 5:00 PM)
🛠 How to Add a Date/Time Range Field
- In Step 2: Fields, click Add Field → Date/Time Range
- Select the desired format:
- Date Range
- Time Range
- Date + Time Range
- Enter a field title (e.g., “Booking Window”)
- Optional: Enable constraints like “End must be after Start”
