Kuika's Date Time Range element allows users to easily select a specific date and time range in your application. Users can either manually enter a date and time range or specify the start and end times through a date and time picker. The Date Time Range element is used when it is necessary to specify time ranges and prevents erroneous entries by allowing the user to select a valid time zone. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Date Time Range element and how to configure date-time range validations.

The Date Time Range element is only supported by web applications.

Add Date Time Range Element

After logging in to the Kuika platform, open the project you will work on from the “Apps” screen.

In the “UI Design” (1) module, drag and drop the Date Time Range element (4) under the “Date and Time Input” (3) category from the “Elements” (2) panel on the left side.

You can add the Date Time Range element from the Elements panel by drag and drop. If you drag it to an empty space on the screen, it will be added with the Row element. If you drag it into a Column, you will only add a Date Time Range element.

Date Time Range Element Properties

Located in the Properties panel:

Start Value: You can specify the start value of the date and time range as a static date and time or enter a dynamic value using Symbol Picker.
End Value: You can specify the end value of the date and time range as a static date and time or enter a dynamic value using the Symbol Picker.
Start Date Placeholder: You can use it to inform the user about the field where they need to enter the start date. For example, you can guide the user by adding text such as “Select Start Date”.
End Date Placeholder: Similarly for the end date, you can add a placeholder text to tell the user which date to select.
Allow Clear: Allows users to clear the entire entry with a single click after entering the date and time range. Entries can be easily reset with a Delete (X) icon that appears in the right corner.
