[SOLVED] How do developers prompt users for date/time using InfoAssist?
I'm told that there isn't currently a date/time picker in InfoAssist (8201M). How can I prompt the user to enter a range of date/time values without using an HTML page and a portal?This message has been edited. Last edited by: FP Mod Chuck,

Hi Blassum
Welcome to Focal Point. It is a great resource for getting answers to your development questions.
In InfoAssist you can create multiple filters on a date field that is greater than and less than a value. You will use parameters that you can make dynamic and populate or just allow them to type in a value.
When the procedure is run the autoprompt will come up and allow them to choose a value and run the report.
Hope that helps!
Thank you for using Focal Point!

There's actually a very nice Date Picker in Autoprompt if your date field is formatted HYYMD. You'll have to pick a Simple Parameter and when you run your code, you'll get a Calendar pop up.
