At the bottom of the Date column, you can set what is to be displayed in the layout editor: date only, time only, both data and time (with or without seconds). You could use that to determined what the user sees 👀

Darren already explained this, but there is no such thing in Glide as a date only or a time only. When you select or write a piece of data in a “Date” column (it’s called “Date” but this is misleading), you are working with a piece of data that includes a date and a time. That column could be called the Date-Time column: it houses a piece of data that includes year, month, day, hour, minute, second and we cannot see what’s trailing but it’s probably there.

Keep that in mind when you build and don’t move astray from this. This is how it works in Glide. There is no such as thing as working with a date only irrespective of the time, and there is no such thing as working with a time only irrespective of the date. Date and time go together at all times (pun intended).

Here’s a [guide on dates and time](https://community.glideapps.com/t/guide-on-dates-times/70381). Personally I find the whole topic complicated, but that’s how dates and time are it seems. Your build will benefit from you keeping things simple.
