Entering Dates and Times
It's not always possible to know the exact date or time an event happened.
ICM caters for this by providing date and time controls that can accommodate:
Unknown dates or times |
These are labelled Unknown in the appropriate control. |
---|---|
Exact dates and times |
These are represented by a single date or time. For example, 17/3/2004 or 15:36. |
Continuous date or time ranges |
The first and last value in a continuous range are separated by a hyphen. For example, 10/3/2004 to 17/3/2004 is represented as 10/3/2004-17/3/2004 and the time range 06:00 to 10:00 is represented as 06:00-10:00. |
Discontinuous date or time ranges |
The first and last value in a discontinuous range are separated by an approximation ~ symbol. For example, 10/3/2004, 12/3/2004, 16/3/2004, 17/3/2004 is represented as 10/3/2004~17/3/2004. The time range 06:00, 08:00, 10:00 is represented as 06:00~10:00. |
