Time Input
Description
This part allows your application users to enter time values in an application.
Use
With this party you can provide your users a field where they can enter a time value in the format HH:MM. The system converts the value to a number that the amount of minutes between 00:00 and the provided time. This makes it possible for the application to use time entries in a calculation, for example. The time input should always use the 24-hour format: HH:MM.

| Type |
This allows the user to have the system trigger the display of an error message based on user-defined parameters:
- mandatory: This means the end-user must provide a value or the system will display an error message.
- numeric, percentage, currency: These mean that the value the end-user enters must be a number and may contain a comma or dot as decimal character. This validation rule can be used when the data-object-type is set to text. This combination allows the user to enter decimal number and allows users to enter a different decimal point (e.g. comma).
- time: This means the input must be a time string--hh:mm (12:14, for example) or hhmm (1214) are both allowed
- custom: This allows the user to set a custom validation parameter.
- email: This means the value the end-user enters must contain an '@' symbol.
- date: This means the input must be a date string; mm/dd/yy, for example.

This allows you to specify different captions based on rules. The system only displays one caption, the last caption in the table the rule determines to be true. If there is no rule the system determines to be true, the system uses the 'standard' caption. For an example, see Multi-Caption Example Project. |
