Entering Dates with the Keyboard

You can enter dates in date fields by using the keyboard instead of the drop-down calendar. A date must be typed in the following format:
  • dd/mm/yy or
  • dd/mm/yyyy

If you use the two-digit format for the year, Workflow Manager interprets the date as follows: if the two digits correspond to a year that is less than 30 years in the future, the year is treated as a year in the future; otherwise the digits are interpreted as a year in the past. If you enter a year with all four digits, the year is displayed as two digits. To check the interpretation of a two-digit date, click the year in the date field to display it as four digits.
