How to set a date
When you set or edit a date, you can use one of these options:
- Type the exact date.
- Select the date from the calendar.
- Specify a time period in relation to the current time, for example, + 2 weeks or - 4 hours.
To specify the time period, use the following syntax that is aligned with both Danish and English:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
+ |
Add a date in the future |
|
- |
Add a date in the past |
|
Å Y |
Year |
|
M |
Month |
|
U W |
Week |
| D | Day |
Example:
+4u – You set a date of 4 weeks after the current day.
-1y – You set a date of 1 year before the current date.
Notes:
- You can only enter a simple value for each date field, for example, +7w. Do not use compound values, for example, +1m3w.
- Day is the default time period. If you just enter a number without a time value, WorkZone for Office counts it as a day. Thus, +6 equals +6d.
