Once a date control has been added to a form, you can configure it using the options on the Properties tab.
Required: Makes the date field mandatory.
ID: The date control ID. The ID is automatically assigned when a Date control is added to a form. The value of this field cannot be edited
Name: A name for the date control. This name is used to identify the date control in other forms. You cannot edit the name of a date control if it is mapped to an index field.
Title: The label that will be displayed for the date field on the form.
Field Mapping: Select an index field from this list in order to map the date control to the field. Only date type index fields are displayed.
Default Value: A default value for the date field. This default value will be used if no input is provided. You can enter the $$DATE$$ replaceable text variable to automatically populate the current date as the default value.
Tab Order: The sequence in which a field will be selected when Tab is pressed. For example, if the tab order for a field is set to 3, when Tab is pressed for the third time, that field will be selected.
Edit Rules: Opens the Edit Rules window where you can configure conditional rules for the control. See Conditional rules for more information.
