How to create a new form field
The Time Ago field allows you to specify a field that will be used as a reference to calculate the amount of time that has elapsed since that date. It is a great option if you want to know, how much time an individual has been your customer for example.
You could create a Time Ago field that points to a Date field where you have the date in which that person became a customer. The resulting value would be the number of years that have passed since that person became your customer. The value would read X years ago.
Configuring a Date Time Field
Go to Settings > Apps, select the app you'd like to add the field to and select the 'Form Fields' tab.
Give your field a name and add a field hint if desired. You can then select the section in which the field will be created or keep the default option.
The field type must be set to 'Time Ago'.
Then you will need to select the Date field that will be used as a reference for the value of this field. Depending on the app you're referencing you'll have a few options. If you'd like to know how long a customer has been with your company you would select "created" if you were referencing their account.
Enable the 'Required' checkbox if the information for this field is mandatory. It means that if you enable this option, every time a team member creates a new record, they will need to input a date for this field in order to save it.
If you enable the 'Lock After Create' as its name implies, the field will be locked once the new record is saved and the value of the field will not be editable afterward.
Once you are done setting your field, click the save button.
Note: All new fields are added at the bottom of the form.
Show Advanced Settings
Click on the "Show Advanced Settings" checkbox to reveal the "Duration Format Field".
This will determine the format in which the time will be displayed. Here are your options:
