List Manager Tutorial

Today is a date column that fills itself with the current date when a record is created — there is nothing for the visitor to enter.

Use it for

“Submitted on”, “Registered”, “Logged” timestamps where you always want the server date and never want it changed by hand.

One of the column types on the Fields / Columns screen. The type sets how the column is shown in the list and how it is edited in the add/edit form. See them all together in the Field Types Showcase.
