• Date: collects a date inputted by the user
  Note: On an Android device, the format of a date is determined by the language settings for the device. On WebApps, the accepted input formats are as follows (in order of preference, and note the delimiter matters as part of the format):

  • 'MM/DD/YYYY'

  • 'YYYY-MM-DD'

  • 'M/D/YYYY'

  • 'M/D/YY'

  • 'M-D-YYYY'

  • 'M-D-YY'

  • ISO8601 format

  • If you enter a date with a two digit year, the widget uses logic to figure out which year: currentYear - 90 <=  *inputYear* <= currentYear + 10

• Time: collects a time input from the user based on device time zone settings
  Note: If device time zone settings are unavailable, time is collected in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
