Date fields in Vernon CMS accept a wide variety of formats. Some Date fields only accept precise dates and must include a day, month, and year.
You can enter the letter 't' into any date field and it will automatically fill in today's date.
Date fields do not allow future dates, with a few exceptions such as Rights Expiry Date.
Most Date fields will accept keywords and partial dates as well as full dates.
For example:
•1982?
•1975 {thought to be}
•Pre 1920
•Late 2010
•Post 1450
•Mid 1988
•Circa 1950
•May 1972?
•1960s
•21st Century
•Unknown
•Early 17th Century
•200 BC
•250 BCE
•21/05/2017
•1980-1990
•2000...today
•21 Jan 87...31 Jan 87
•2015 to 2017
•2008 til today
•1870 until 1930
Dates that require day, month, and year can be entered as:
•21/05/2017
•21.05.2017
•21 May 2017
•2017.05.21
•2017 May 21
•May 21 2017
Time and Duration
Time and Duration fields only accept numbers in the format of a time duration (e.g. hours:mins:seconds) or a timecode (e.g. hours:mins:seconds:frame).
For example:
•05:22:11
•05:22:11:14
Date Time fields
Date Time fields require the date and time in a specific format: DD/MM/YY hh:mm
The date must be followed by a space and then the time.
For example, you could type 1.1.17 14.30 and the system would interpret this as, 01 JAN 2017 14:30:00.
You can either use colons (:) or semi-colons (;) to separate the hours, minutes and seconds. You can use the 24 hour clock format, or the letters "a" and "p" to indicate am or pm. For example, 8:30a would change to 08:30:00. 8:30p would change to 20:30:00.
