BUILDING A DATE/TIME
The Event Picker’s date/time selector allows you to build a date/time starting with the year, then the month, day, hour, and then down to the
minute. Narrow it down as much as you can, and then retrieve the archives and browse or filter to locate the desired events. The date/time
appears in the bottom row of the date/time selector as you build it.

from the pop-up menu. “Click to select a Date/Time” will appear in the bottom row of the Event Picker.
