Date and Time¶
The Date and Time component allows you to display the current date and time information within your report. Each time a report containing this component is loaded, it automatically updates to reflect the most recent date and time, providing a useful timestamp for when the report was generated.
Configuring Date and Time¶
Customize the Date and Time's behavior and appearance to fit your specific needs using the available configuration options.
- Date Format: You can select from various predefined formats for displaying the date and time. This includes options to show only the date, or different combinations of date, month, and year. For example, you can choose a format that displays "Month number and Year" or "Long Month name and Year". This allows you to customize the Date and Time component to suit your specific reporting needs.
Generic Styling Summary¶
Standard visual properties like text transform and margins can be adjusted through the properties panel. Other styling options like font, color, and size can typically be adjusted through the appearance tab. Default styling often originates from the report's applied theme settings.
