Time Between Dates field type provides users with the duration between two selected dates. When selecting these durations, you must specify a start date (first date) and an end date (second date), and your end date must always be after your start date.

Additionally, you will see 3 different calculation strategies in the configuration screen. They are as follows:

  • Only Workdays: Calculates based only on the workdays in your country.

  • Only Holidays: Calculates based only on the holidays in your country.

  • All Days: Calculates based on all days of the week.

If you choose to select the workdays or holidays from the calculation strategies, don't forget to choose the correct country. If your country is not listed in our options, please contact us.
