# Time

Use a **Time** field when the record should store a time without a date.

For the general settings all data fields have in common, see [Shared field settings](/builder-hub/design-your-app/add-and-edit-data-fields-in-your-tables/all-data-fields/shared-field-settings.md).

Field-specific settings for **Time** are:

<i class="fa-memo">:memo:</i> **General**

* **Default value**: fills the field automatically in new records
  * **Empty**: leaves the field blank
  * **Now**: uses the current time
  * <i class="fa-code-simple">:code-simple:</i> **Edit dynamic value** next to the field opens the logic editor where you can add or edit the logic for that setting. After you save the script, Ninox shows the first line of the script instead of the static value field. To switch back to a static value, click <i class="fa-xmark">:xmark:</i> **Remove dynamic value** on the right.

<i class="fa-airplay">:airplay:</i> **Display**

* **Time format**: controls how the time is shown
  * **auto**: uses the default format
  * **09:42**: 24-hour format with hours and minutes
  * **9:42 AM**: 12-hour format with hours and minutes
  * **09:42:25**: 24-hour format with seconds
  * **9:42:25 AM**: 12-hour format with seconds
  * **09:42:25.123**: 24-hour format with milliseconds

On the form, users can enter the time directly in the field.\
If the format is set to a 12-hour option, you can switch between **AM** and **PM** by typing **A** or **P** in the field. You can also press the up and down arrow keys to switch between **AM** and **PM**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ninox.com/builder-hub/design-your-app/add-and-edit-data-fields-in-your-tables/all-data-fields/time.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
