The *Date/Time* Widget is a versatile tool that allows precise setting of date and time values. These values can then be passed on to other widgets that accept date and time formats as input.

The date and time can be set in two ways:

Firstly, the display for day, month, year, hours, or minutes can be clicked on directly, and the values adjusted using the up or down arrow keys of the keyboard.

Secondly, the calendar symbol can be clicked to open an interactive calendar, where all values – day, month, year, and time – can be adjusted intuitively and comfortably.

A special feature of this widget is the *Now* function. By clicking the *Now* button, the current date and time are automatically set. Additionally, with the *Live* switch, you can not only capture the current date and time but also maintain them dynamically. When *Live* is activated, the time display flashes to indicate that the widget continuously updates the current date and time dynamically.
