What does the component do?

• It is used for the entry of a date.

When should the component be used?

• Whenever a date value is required from the user.

Rules

• Date details are always single-line.
• The date selection always has a label.
• A question mark in the circle – in addition to the label – can be used for detailed explanations. A tooltip opens when clicking on this question mark.
• The date can be entered by hand by clicking in the date field.
  • Manual entry allows the following entries, which are automatically formatted correctly by the component (e.g. 1 January 2020):
    • '010120'
    • '1.1.20'
    • '01.01.20'
• When the calendar icon is clicked on, a calendar layer opens to select the date. Clicking outside of the calendar layer closes it again.
• Individual days or entire date ranges can be deactivated in the calendar layer.
• The navigation arrows in the calendar layer (month/year) are only shown if a preceding/subsequent date can be selected.
• If the focus is on the calendar layer, it can be operated by keyboard as follows:
  • Arrow keys: Changing the marked day.
  • Space key / Enter: Selection of the marked day.
• The selected date is usually displayed in the format "Weekday, DD.MM.YYYY" (example "Fr, 04.08.2017"). The display of the weekday is optional.
