Using Date and Time Fields
Date and time fields allow convenient ways of entering dates and times in various formats. You can type your desired date/time in one of the formats shown below, and Crisisworks will convert it into a fully formatted date or time when you leave the field.
For example, enter a time into the field:
and when you leave the field, it will automatically convert into the computed date and time:
You can always go back into the field to change it if the computed timestamp isn't what you expected.
Examples of formats are:

When adding 'today' to a search filter, it usually defaults to the current date and time. If you want to include the current day's records in your search results, you should change the time to 00:00, for example 06/09/2018 00:00 which is midnight on the 6th September 2018.
