Working with the Japanese Imperial Calendar

PolicyCenter provides a Japanese Imperial calendar date picker that you can display in the user interface. You enable this feature through configuration. After you enable it, you can specify the default calendar type for an entity property.

The date widget displays only the most recent Imperial eras. They are:

• Reiwa
• Heisei
• Showa
• Taisho
• Meiji

The Japanese Imperial Calendar has the following usage limitation:

• Copy and paste of a date string into the date input field can often produce an incorrect entry.
• Your web browser must be using the same time zone as the PolicyCenter server. If the time zone for the web browser is different from the server, the calendar date picker does not save the correct date.
