Two Field Types are available in Ibidem for dates: American Date and European Date.
| American Date format is: 1/31/1999 or 1-31-1999 |
| European Date format is: 31/1/1999 or 31-1-1999 |
For either American Date or European date, the following principles apply:
| • | Four digit years must always be used. |
| • | Any commonly used delimiters will be recognized (e.g. 1.31.1999 or 1:31:1999 or 1-31-1999 or 1/31/1999) |
| • | Field must have 3 numbers. If the month or day is not known, it may be entered as 0. For example, to enter January 1999 in an American Date field, you would type 1/0/1999. |
