New Time field - Forms 10.2

asked on January 16, 2017

The new Time field in Forms 10.2 seems to be limited to a selection of hours only in the drop-down list.

Is there any way to configure it to show half or quarter hours?

The available formats are also limited to hours, minutes and seconds; can the Seconds be removed?  Using this field to set an appointment time etc. would not require the choice of Seconds.

I know this is two questions but I think they are related.

Peter, your suggestions are spot on.  The time field would be much more useful if the interval could be configured and seconds suppressed from displaying.

Have there been any updates to this request?  I am trying format the time to only show hours and minutes (h:mm).

Unfortunately no :-(

There is no change for 10.3.1

Darn, thanks for the info.  If only there was a way to access the underlying script run on page load.

Sue,

There is a custom/3rd party time picker (it's free) that others have used with success.  In my case I just had to copy the entire timepicker folder in my webservers c:\inetpub\wwwroot\js folder and then put in appropriate javascript into my form.  Here are some posts that discuss it:

Hope that helps!

Wanted to see if there was a timeline for this feature or if there are even plans to add functionality to the time field.  I have some projects coming up that would be a great success using Laserfiche and it's time field if the functionality is there for options for increasing and/or decreasing the hour intervals to half/quarter/custom.

I would really like to see the ability to format the time field added to Forms.  The current format with 00:00:00 is not accepable to customers who do not require Seconds e.g. Time Tables.

The Time Picker is great and I have used this to modify the appearance and interval of fields.  But it only works with text fields.  If you use a time field then you can change the interval with Time Picker, but you cannot change the format; the Laserfiche 00:00:00 format overrides Time Picker.  If you use a text field the format can be changed but Advanced Calculations then do not work.

My latest Form required a table with Time calculations i.e. Total Time = Start Time - End Time in a table.  I used Advanced Calculations as well as Time Picker.  The Advanced Calculations worked but I was stuck with 00:00:00.

I assume you coud do calculations in tables with Jscript but I am not prepared to spend time on it due to a shortfall in Laserfiche

Hi Seeing this I wanted to add the usefulness of being able to have this time field use military time.

If this may be a feature to add to it, this would be powerful.

I will add my vote to add some more flexibility to this field format.

FYI, looks like the AM/PM drop down is not turning read-only when set. This is on LF 11 Update 3. Thanks

What is the status of these suggestions?  I don't see them included in Forms 10.3.

 

Thanks

I have a use case with scheduling tasks in forms. Usually these are schedule for date then an hour and minute. Seconds is not used but being able to set it to quarter or half hour increments would make the task much faster then having to select an hour and then type the minutes that are needed. 

 

Regards,

Travis

Travis,  Time Picker would be great for this as long as you are not doing Advanced Calculations with it.  You can format for hh:mm AM/PM and any interval.
