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:

Å

Y

M

U

W

Week

D Day

 

Example:

  • +4u – Will set a date of 4 weeks from the current day.
  • -1y – Will set a date of 1 year before the current date.
  • 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 365 counts it as a day. Thus, +6 equals +6d.
