Enter a Time

You can enter time directly into a time field or use the time scale screen to do this.

Times are displayed in 24-hour clock format – hh:mm.

Some time fields only accept an exact time. Other time fields accept exact, unknown, continuous, and discontinuous time ranges.

 

To enter time using the time scale screen:

  1. Select the Clock icon beside the time field.

    The Time Scale screen displays a 24-hour period.

    Each hour is divided into two half-hour slots.

    Time displays from midnight b default.

    You can use the arrow icon to change this to midday if required.

  2. Select the required time using either any of these methods:

    • Double-click a time slot on the time scale screen.

    • Select the required time slot on the screen.

      Your selection is highlighted in yellow.

    Use the Shift or Ctrl keys to select more than one hour or half-hour time slot.

  3. Drag the slider to specify a more accurate time (if required).

  4. Select OK.
