Adding a Fortnight field

The following section describes how to add a Fortnight field when designing a Form. This field is useful if you want to add a Lock to your Form or you want to create a Form/Subform for fortnightly reporting. Users can select a week or a day from the Calendar when adding Records or type the Fortnightly period using the suggested format. The Fortnight field format is YYYYWW-WW (e.g.2020W3-W4).

How to add a Fortnight field

  • In the Form Design page, click on "Fortnight" to select the field from the fields palette.

Fill in the Properties of the field by providing:

  • Label: type the question or the label for which the user needs to provide information
  • Description: optionally provide a description
  • Code: optionally provide a code

In the Settings check the boxes you want to apply for the field.

If you make a Fortnight field a Key field, you will be able to add Locks to the Form based on a specific period of time.

  • Click on "Done" to add the field.
  • The Fortnight field has been added to the Form.
  • When you finish adding fields, click on "Save" to save the Form.
  • Users will be able to provide a Fortnightly period when they are adding Records.
