Last updated 2 November 2026
The 'DateTime' field type has a single UI element option called 'Date and Time.' The system displays the following conditional field when you select the 'Date and Time' UI element:
| Input Label | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mandatory | Toggle | No | When enabled, users must provide both a date and a time to save the record. When disabled, the field is optional. |
In addition, the system displays the following form input requirements in the 'Date and Time' UI element's 'Appearance' tab:
| Input Label | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Show in table view | Toggle | No | Determines whether the date and time values are displayed as a column in the Instance Admin index. |
| Sortable in table view | Toggle | No | Enables chronological sorting of records by timestamp when the column header is clicked. |
| Help Text (Tooltip) | Text Area | No | Informational text that appears on hover; useful for specifying timezone expectations or required time formats. |
| Column Width in table view (%) | Number Field | No | Sets the horizontal width (1–100%) of the column in the table view to optimize the display of long timestamps. |
