An item may have a textual description of when it occurred rather than a specific
date and time, or dates and time may be stored in text fields. This may be useful when no
date or time is known, or if a date and time is specified to give more information regarding
it.
The Description of date and time can be built from any combination of:
- the fields of the type
- free text
- the special characters Space, NewLine and Tab
-
Build up the way the description should look:
- To use a field in the description, locate and select the field in the
tree view and click on the right arrow to move that field into the
Structure. Alternatively double-click on the
field name.
- To include free text, type the text into the Free
text box and click on the right arrow beside the box to move
it into the Structure.
- In the same way, select a special character from the Special character
list and click on the right arrow beside it to move it into the
Structure.
The next item you include will appear directly below the selected entry. If
more than one entry is selected, a newly included item will appear at the bottom
of the list.
-
To reorder the parts of the description, select the part you wish to move and
click on the Up or Down buttons.
-
To delete any part of a description, select it and click
Delete.
-
When you have finalized the structure, click OK.
