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

2. 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.

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.‍
• Format: Determines the format in which the date and time range is displayed. Format offers different options for the user to enter or display date and time values. For example, it can show only the date part (day, month, year) or can be set to include the full date and time (hour, minute, second). If the seconds part is not desired, this feature allows only the date and time parts to be displayed.

Authorization

To manage access control at the element level, you can use the Authorization section in the Properties panel.

Unauthorized Behavior (Hide / Disable)

If the user does not have the required role, you can specify how the element should behave in the Choose field:

• Hide: If the user is not authorized, the element is completely hidden and does not appear on the screen.

This setting is used to manage how unauthorized users encounter the element.
