Smart date fields are fields that display the 
icon in supported browsers. To activate the pop-up calendar, click the icon and choose the date
you need.
In addition to allowing you to point-and-choose dates from a pop-up calendar, smart date fields will
also allow you to enter English-language text to represent date and time.
Some examples of the text input are presented below. All entries are case-insensitive, meaning that
FRIDAY and friday are treated similarly.
