Date Fields
Date fields allow you to enter dates for both calendars and for searching. You must enter all dates in the MM/DD/YYYY format.
You also have the option of clicking the calendar icon . This opens the calendar from which you can select the desired date. The system automatically populates the date field with the date you select.
Search date fields can include both a From and a To field.
Enter dates in both date fields to search within the specified date range.
You can also enter a date in only the From or only the To field, leaving the other field blank. Entering a date in only the From field searches between the date you entered and the current date. Entering a date in only the To field searches between the first date in the system and the date you entered.
Enter a date in the From field and click Equals to automatically populate the To field with the same date. This is useful when you want to restrict your search to a single date.
