Frequently asked questions
When does the next-day option appear?
It appears when the end time is earlier than the start time, or when the start and end times are equal and you want a 24-hour duration.
What is the default for cross-midnight times?
The next-day option is pre-selected so a typical overnight interval is calculated correctly out of the box.
What is the default for equal times?
Equal times default to the same-day reading (0 minutes). The next-day option is shown but unchecked, so you can opt into 1440 minutes (24 hours) explicitly.
What time format should I use?
Use the native 24-hour time control. For example, 13:30 means half past one in the afternoon.
