In Popdock, datetime fields can be displayed as either a date or a time, but not both at the same time within a single field.
To watch the video that goes with this, see below or click here.
If you want to see both values, you can create a calculated field that extracts the time portion of the datetime value and display it alongside the original date field. Follow the steps below.
Getting a viewable time value
In order to get a viewable time value from a datetime field in Popdock, you need to create a calculated field.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A list in Popdock that contains a datetime field.
- Permission to edit lists and calculated fields in your Popdock environment.
Steps
1. Edit the list that has the datetime field.
2. Select Fields and then select Calculated fields.
3. Select Add calculated field.
4. Enter a Name for the calculation. Set the Field type to Time and set the Field language to Popdock script.
5. In the Script box, add the datetime field by selecting it from the field picker (or typing its field reference). The field is the only expression needed — no formatting function is required.
6. Select Add.
The calculated field will now return only the time portion of the datetime value. Your setup should match the screenshot above, with your datetime field used as the script expression. You can now add this calculated field to your list alongside the original date field to see both the date and time values together.
