Using DateTime fields with time included

AnttiKajanus1 — Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:19:24 GMT

Hi,

Is it currently possible to select date fields that included time as well?

We are planning an solution where users on field checks that they have started working in location (what time) and when they have finished it (time again). If using date fields is not going to work, how we should design this to the service so that user experience stays good?

You can use a date field and configure the popup in AGOL to display the time inside the date field and then you can set the time in the apps.

Hi,
Is there a button, or a collector function that enters current time into a column, or does a user have to manually enter the time? We've used the date - picker tool, but that just enters a GMT time of 12:00 midnight, which is definitely not helpful. Is there a way to configure the local time zone, and have collector enter a current date/time instead of GMT midnite and date via the date-picker?

Thanks -
Fred
