Date Time

Date Time elements used on forms are a type of input field that allow visitors to enter or select a date with a time.

This type of element is usually used when a specific date and time is required. Examples include a date of an event, webinar, meeting requests etc.

Visitors submitting the form can input the date and time value or use the date picker to choose a date and time.
