All dates and times in bxp software is stored in Universal Date Time (UDT) format. yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss, this format is normally unchangeable.

bxp users now have the ability to perform some modifications to the question type "Basic - Date Box", these modifications are:

• Modify the minute drop down list to have intervals i.e 15 minute intervals, 20 minute intervals or even 8 minute intervals
• Allows the user to choose to capture seconds in the time frame or not.

To use this functionality you must first add a question to your form of type "Basic - Date Box", once that is done make note of the strCDA_X_field_X_X identifier of the question. Next go to the JavaScript onLoad settings of your form and enter in the following JavaScript function call, replacing the following fields:

• bxp Question Id - Replace this with the strCDA_X_field_X_X identifier of the question
• Minute intervals - Replace this with the desired intervals for the minutes drop down list
• Hide seconds - to hide the seconds replace this with true otherwise replace this with false to leave the seconds in place
