In order to use the TimeSlider digit, how is the data set up, and how is it referenced? I am assuming the Time must be enabled on a field within feature layer of the map service, right? Is it necessary to reference the feature layer of the map service in the html file only then? Does the TimeSlider recognize the Time enabled field simply after referencing the FeatureLayer id (I am trying to make sense of this based on the "Dynamic time slider" template)?
hi barry, if you inspect the rest endpoint for the layer within the map service which is being displayed, you can see that it is "time aware", (meaning that the layer itself was configured prior to publishing the service) [ATTACH=CONFIG]22241[/ATTACH]
check out this article for more info on making a layer time aware
its not even necessary to use a FeatureLayer in your JavaScript application to take advantage of this. the sample you mentioned is using a DynamicMapServiceLayer with only 1 visible layer.

John, can this be done with ArcGIS Server 10.0? I have set the layer time properties in the map document, restarted the service, but do not see the "Time aware" information for my data (as you have in the screenshot).
