Mobile Configuration

The behaviour of the Date and DateTime steps MultiScan step can be controlled through these configuration parameters.

• inputType:  DateMultiScandefaultValue: By supplying this value the pre-filled date can be controlled. If omitted the step will display the current date. It must be in a valid date format, i.e. match the expected format for the Date and DateTime steps respectively.
  From version 1.5.10 is is possible to leave the date field empty, forcing the user to select a date/datetime. This is done by blanking the default value as follows, defaultValue="".
  minDate: The Registration Collector will only accept values on or after this date. By omitting this attribute the value will default to the minimum date defined by the operating system on the mobile device. Note, that this should also be Date-formatted on dateTime steps
  maxDate: The Registration Collector will only accept values on or prior to this date. By omitting this attribute the value will default to the maximum date defined by the operating system on the mobile device. Note, that this should also be Date-formatted on dateTime steps
  
• optional: From version 1.5.10 it is possible to set the Date and DateTime steps as optional, making the steps accept an empty value
• format: N/A Legacy for Windows Mobile Embedded.

• uniqueValues: Only one of each barcode is supported.

• listSeparator: Character used to separate the collected values. E.g. ",".
