Date and Time Element
The Date and Time function allows you to include a date/time stamp on the label. This element
is a combination of a text element with data serialization, where the data is some date or time
value. The Date and Time function has all the properties and behavior of a text element, with
the exception that you cannot edit the date by typing. You must use the Date and Time function
dialog box to set the date.
You can apply the date/time stamp to the current label where the element is placed or to
multiple labels. You can also specify if you want to use the system date/time or define your
own.
Add Date/Time
When inserting the date/time, it makes no difference which label is selected, or if any is
selected. To insert the date/time on a label:
1.
Choose Insert>Date/Time Data.
A dialog box displays requesting date/time format and on which labels it should be placed.
