When quick field stores the documents to Repository and in metadata if I have used Date token then which Date it will use, client machine or Laserfiche server?

Quick field agent is also installed on client side then the scheduling is based on client's date and time, is it correct?

Right, my guess was that we're talking either about datetime or date formatting. In either case, the value and format are based on the client machine, but with the caveat that the format is only relevant for display (as the server stores the value in the invariant format and the clients format it when they show it).

The date token will be the date from the client side. The only server-side tokens in Quick Fields are ID, Parent and Username. When would the date on the server and clients not be the same?

I don't know if anybody is doing this, but you could theoretically have a server in one hemisphere and a client in another. Different time zones are far more likely.

I believe that the tokens are processed by the application that is submitting the document to the repository will convert them to their final values before they are stored. If Quick Fields and Agent are running on the same machine, then yes any dates generated will be local to that machine.
