,Date fields usually contain the current date by default. To change the date, you can type the new date in full, separating day, month and year by full stop. Alternatively, pick-up the date suggested by SIHOT or use the in-build calendar.
The suggested date is used as follows:
Ø Type the date and check the pop-up on top of the name field suggesting dates as you type.
•Start typing the day (e.g. 10). The pop-up on top now suggests the date with this day in the current month.
•If you need a different month, continue by pressing any letter or punctuation key (for example the space bar) and then enter the month. The pop-up on top now suggests this date in the current year.
Ø As soon as the required date is displayed, press Enter or Tab to insert it into the date field.
