Time Columns
Imagine you manage a sports club and want to track the starting time and ending time of training sessions in your database. In this case, the Time columns will help you indicate the time in a suitable format.
If a column contains data that doesn’t look or behave the way you want, you can edit the column’s General Properties and the properties defined by the column type.

- Help
- When the Help text property is filled in, a question mark is displayed near the field name on the View/Edit form. If you point to this question mark, a pop-up with a tip or a help text message will be shown.
