Date and time pickers
Usage
Date pickers are text entry fields tied to a standard date format and include an optional drop-down calendar/time entry screen.
Use date pickers to facilitate data entry when accuracy is critical.
Use a range when accuracy is critical, and users must manually select start and end dates. The following screen shots show the From date selected first, but users can begin by entering either the From or To dates.
Use a date and time picker together when a specific time is important such as when filing a new claim.
InsuranceSuite includes a date picker for the Japanese Imperial Calendar.

Best Practices
Labels
- Left-align labels.
- Place labels near the field to ensure that each label is clearly associated with the correct field.
- Unless the label is a complete sentence, use title case (capitalize first, last, and all important words).
