The Date Picker style allows you to add a calendar icon to a field on a Profile screen. Users can click the icon to open a calendar that they can use to select a date. The selected date is stored in the profile attribute that is associated with the field. For example, you could add the calendar control to a Start Date field on the Profile tab for a Create Contractor task. When an administrator selects the first day of the contract, Identity Manager stores that date in the user's profile.
The Date Picker style has the following configuration settings:
Determines the format of dates displayed in a field and in the Date Picker control. Specify the date display pattern using Java conventions. For example, the following Java expression is displayed as Oct 2007:
MMM yyyy
For more information about Java date formats, see the documentation for the Java™ 2 Platform Std. Ed. v1.4.2 at the Sun website (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs). Search for SimpleDateFormat.
Note: The Date Display Pattern field appears only when the Date Picker style is selected.
Determines how the date is stored in the user store. Specify the date using Java conventions. See the description of the Date Display Pattern for more information.
Adds a clock control to a field on a Profile screen. Users can use this control to select a time. The time is stored in the user store.
Determines whether Identity Manager displays time in a 12 or 24 hour format.
Specifies the time zone of the stored date and time.
Note: If you want to store time zone information, be sure to specify a Date Storage Pattern format that includes the time zone.
Note: The Date Storage Pattern, Show Time Picker, Time Picker Format, and Show Time Zone fields appear only when the attribute that you selected does not have the date valuetype in the directory.xml file.
