The Date and Time component helps you select or enter dates and times across Sprinklr—for example, when setting due dates, scheduling content, or filtering data.

​

Sprinklr provides two ways to work with dates:

• Date Picker – select a date using a calendar
• Date Input – type a date manually, with the option to open a calendar

This article explains the difference between these options and how to use each effectively.

​

You may encounter date and time fields in multiple areas of Sprinklr, such as:

• Task management (for due dates)
• Editorial calendar (for scheduling)
• Filters and reports

Understanding how each input type works helps you quickly set or update dates without confusion.

​

Date Picker versus Date Input

Key Difference

• Date Picker is selection-based

• Date Input is entry-based (with optional selection)

How the Selection Experience Works

In Date Picker

• Clicking anywhere opens the calendar
• You must select the date from the calendar

​

In Date Input

• Enter Date Manually: Clicking inside the field enables typing. Type the desired date using your keyboard. Press Enter or click outside the field.

• Use the Calendar: Clicking the calendar icon opens the calendar. Select a date (and time if applicable).

• You can switch between typing and selecting.

Summary

• This update applies across Sprinklr wherever date fields are used.
• You may see either Date Picker or Date Input depending on the use case.
• Both options support date and time where applicable.
