New Demo: Time On Form
Time On Form Demo
I created a demo named "Time On Form" partially in response to this question:
How can I use javascript to get current date/time to use as a variable in a formula
https://community.quickbase.com/quickbase/topics/how-can-i-use-javascript-to-get-current-date-time-t...
The demo addresses four different use cases that might occur all of which can be implemented with script. I think you can figure out what is accomplished in each of the four cases without a lot of description from be although there are subtle differences between each use case.
The demo has three fields [Name] representing the collective set of data entry fields, [Time On Form] representing the time the new record field is open, and [Forced Save?] indicating if the form was automatically saved after a 10 seconds timeout. For demo purposes I am displaying all of these fields but preventing direct editing of [Time On Form] and [Forced Save?] as these fields are set by script not human input.
