Overview
One of the most commonly used field in a Form is the Date field. A date field contains only a Date. You can configure the date to appear in any format you wish, like 15-Aug-1947 or Aug 15, 1947 from the Applications Settings dialog, as shown in the screen-shot given below. When a date field appears on a form, it displays a calendar button, which lets users select a date in a couple of clicks.
