Configuring a Date Time field
Standardize date and time formats and reduce the number of input mistakes by using a Date Time field. When you set up a Date Time field, you ensure that users enter scheduling information in the right format.
For example, for scheduling appointments, you can set up a one hour default step, so that a user cannot schedule a meeting that starts at quarter past an hour.- In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Case types, and then click the case type that you want to open.
