# Time

> The time field in a HireData form. It gives the respondent a clock picker and can only be branched on with the has response operator.

Time gives the respondent a `--:-- --` box with a clock picker beside it. Use it for a time of day with no date attached, such as when someone would rather be called.

It sits in the **Temporal** group of the **Add Content** palette.

## Settings

Time adds nothing to the [settings every field shares](/reference/forms/overview#settings-every-field-shares). There is no earliest or latest time to set, and no way to offer a fixed set of slots. If you want the respondent to pick from a shortlist, use [Multiple Choice](/reference/forms/fields/multiple-choice-and-dropdown) instead and write the slots as options.

## What it stores

A date and time. All three temporal types share one value, and Time fills in the clock time.

## Logic operators

The operator picker is fixed at **has response** and cannot be changed. A rule can ask whether the respondent gave a time, not how early it is.

## Evaluation

Switch **Criteria**, **Scoring**, or **Skills** on for the form in the [Evaluation tab](/reference/forms/evaluation/overview) and each one gets a switch on this card.
