Date Entry
The Date Entry component provides a user-friendly input interface for entering dates.
How It Works
The Date Entry component displays a clickable input field, allowing users to type and enter a date. You can customize its label, date mask, required status, and additional behaviors to match your form requirements.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Label Name | The text label displayed above the date entry field. |
| Hide Label | Option to hide the label visually while keeping it accessible to screen readers. |
| Disabled | The field is still displayed, however it can not be filled out. |
| Make Required | Marks the field as required. The user must input a value before submitting. |
| Add CSS Class | Apply custom CSS classes to style the field to match your branding or layout. |
| Disable Date in the Future | Prevents users from selecting dates in the future. |
| Date Mask | Defines how the date is displayed and stored. Supported formats include MM-DD-YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY/MM/DD, DD-MM-YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY. |
| Display Component in Navigation | Option to include this component in any summary or form navigation (if applicable). |
| Customizable Texts | Allows you to modify system-generated interface texts used within this component, such as placeholders, tooltips, and button labels, to better match your form’s tone and purpose. |
| Clear When Information Update Is On | When enabled, the field will be cleared for returning users if the Information Update setting is active in Form Settings. This ensures that updated entries are always collected. |
| Unique Name | A required identifier that must be unique within the form. Used in variables, email templates, webhooks, and integrations. |
| Variable Name | A variable identifier that can be copied to collect information in printable PDF or Word forms. |
| Mask in Notification Email | Masks the submitted value of this field in email notifications for enhanced privacy and compliance. Useful for preventing exposure of sensitive or identifiable information. |
Using Date Entry Values in Other Parts of the Form
You can reference the provided date elsewhere in the form (e.g., success pages, PDF templates, notification emails) using the component’s Unique Name as a variable.
