Time and Date/Time controls can be initialized in a form with data provided by an XML document.
| Warning |
|---|
You must specify the _formTz=<tz> parameter, appended to the share URL when initializing a form from an XML init document, the _data parameter or a business rule that uses the rule identifier,form.load. Successful initialization cannot be guaranteed if the &_formTz parameter is not supplied. Refer to Initializing Forms with Data for the details. |
Here is an example of XML code that can be used to initialize a form with date, time and date/time controls. The data will be converted to the timezone of the browser and displayed in the form accordingly if the timezone is provided in the XML document. Initialization data will not be converted and will display as is on the form if the timezone is not provided. See Initializing Forms with Data for more information. Notice in the XML document example below that the time for the date/time control is proceeded by a capital "T" (Time Zone) and followed by a "Z" (UTC timezone).

You must specify the _formTz=<tz> parameter, appended to the share URL if the form contains date, time or date/time controls when initializing a form from an XML init document, the _data parameter or a business rule that uses the rule identifier,form.load. This is because the form server needs to know the timezone in which to return the date and time. Successful initialization cannot be guaranteed if the &_formTz parameter is not supplied. Refer to Initializing Forms with Data for the details. |
Time data in a form is always converted from the browser's timezone to a valid UTC format when posted in the form XML document in the submissions database. You may see the time in UTC format with a trailing "Z" (UTC) time or the time value plus or minus the UTC offset. Refer to Viewing XML Documents for more information on the Submissions Database and the XML document.
