button to select a date from the calendar. To enter a date, you must enter it in the format configured by your system administrator. If you are unsure of the format, you can use the calendar to select a date.

Times use the format hh:mm:ss. The minute dropdown contains options in 15 minute intervals (00, 15, 30 and 45). You can specify a different minute by entering the value directly into the 'Time' field. Since you can only select the hour and minute, 00 is inserted for the seconds. You can edit any time-based information in the 'Relative Date' field once you have applied your date/time selection.
If you do not enter the time, 00:00:00 (midnight) will be used.
