Important Notice - In June 2024, we released a new version of our Inventory system. Updated documentation for the Inventory is available in our new Support Portal. All documentation for the entire eLabNext platform will be fully migrated to the new Support Portal over the course of 2024. Start using the new Inventory documentation.


To add a field that allows you to select a date and time, choose Date and Time Field from the Field type dropdown.




After saving the field, a date and time field is created that allows you to enter a date and time according to your preferred date and time settings. Users can either enter the date and time manually or select one using the date and time picker.





The following field options are supported for date and time fields:


  • Required field – makes data entry required prior to storing a sample
  • Note field – field information for end user displayed in a tooltip balloon
  • Default date – field is filled with the default value if none is provided on sample creation
  • Default time – field is filled with the default value if none is provided on sample creation
