Use date, time, and signature components
Capture dates and times with the Date/Time Picker, and collect electronic signatures from submitters.
Both components share the same Visibility control (Editable, Visible, or Hidden per workflow step), a Width from 1 to 12 columns, optional Hint and Tooltip helper text, a Name used as the CSV export column, and a read-only ID.
Date/Time Picker
The Date/Time Picker lets the submitter choose a date, a time, or both. Use it for an event date, a requested start date, or a meeting time. Common forms are Timesheets or Event Registrations.
Properties
- Label
- The text displayed above the picker.
- Required
- When enabled, the submitter must choose a value before submitting.
- Type
- Under Input Settings. Controls what the submitter can pick: Date allows users to select a specific day, month, and year Time allows users to select a specific time Date & Time allows users to select a combination of both date and time Month allows users to pick only the month and year
- Interval
- When you choose Time or Date & Time type, you have the ability to control time intervals (ranging form 1 minute to 60 minutes) to further narrow the values submitters can choose.
- Earliest date / Latest date
- In the Rules section, use Select earliest date and Select latest date to restrict the selectable range. Dates outside the range are disabled. These dates can be set as a fixed date or dynamic.
Use the earliest and latest date limits to prevent invalid selections.
For example, on a travel request form, use a dynamic rule to set the earliest date to today so submitters cannot pick a date in the past.
Signature
The Signature component lets submitters sign a form electronically. They type their name, then select Adopt And Sign to add the signature to the form.
When using the Signature component, it automatically includes a Timestamp component labeled Date Signed. This ensures you have a record of when consent or approval was given.
Keep Date Signed set to Visible on every step where someone signs. If it's set to Hidden on that step, the date and time won't be recorded. To learn more about the Timestamp component, see Use computed and identifier components.
Properties
- Label
- The text displayed above the signature pad - typically "Signature" or "Authorized Signature."
- Required
- When enabled, the submitter must provide a signature before submitting.
The signature appears on PDF downloads of the submission. To set a step where the field only shows a previously captured signature without allowing a new one, set its Visibility to Visible on that step.
