About time fields Use time fields to store: • times you need to sort or search through • times used in calculation formulas or summary fields Notes • The separators in time fields and the order in which the time parts appear depend on the system formats set for the file and the display format for the field. For information on changing the display format for a field (for example, 11:09 PM or 23:09), see Specifying formats for time fields. • If you are using FileMaker Pro Advanced, you can copy field schemas from one file and paste them into the same file or some other file. See Copying and pasting field schemas (FileMaker Pro Advanced). Related topics About defining database fields Working with data in time fields Specifying formats for time fields
