public class RelativeDateItem
extends CanvasItem
```
A FormItem for entering a date relative to today or relative to some other date, or a specific date. Typically used for filtering data by date.
The RelativeDateItem consists of a ComboBoxItem where the user may directly choose one of several preset options, choose to enter a quantity and time unit (eg "4 months ago" or "3 years from now") or directly type in an absolute date value (7/18/2009).

  - setShowPickerTimeItem
```
public RelativeDateItem setShowPickerTimeItem(java.lang.Boolean showPickerTimeItem)
```
    If this item is editing a field of type "datetime", should the DateChooser display the time field, allowing the user to select a time?
    One case where developers will wish to suppress this time-field from being displayed is if a custom dateFormatter has been specified which does not display the time portion of the selected date. In this case any value selected from the DateChooser's time field will be discarded when the picker is dismissed, making it a confusing UI for the end user.
    Has no effect if the field type is "date" - in this case the picker will never show the time field.
    Note : This is an advanced setting
    
    Parameters:
    
    showPickerTimeItem - New showPickerTimeItem value. Default value is true
    
    Returns:
    
    RelativeDateItem instance, for chaining setter calls
  - getShowPickerTimeItem

  - setStartDate
```
public RelativeDateItem setStartDate(java.util.Date startDate)
```
    Minimum date the selectors will allow the user to pick. The default value is January 1st, 10 years before the current year.
    NOTE: by design, setting startDate and endDate will not always prevent the user from picking invalid values. In particular:
    - the set of available days will only be restricted if the start and end dates fall within the same month
    - the set of available months will only be restricted if the start and end dates fall within the same year
    This is by design as it allows the user to set the day, month and year in whatever order is convenient, rather than forcing them to pick in a specific order.
    For actual enforcement of a date being in correct range before data is submitted, a Validator of type "dateRange" should always be declared.
    Parameters:
    
    startDate - New startDate value. Default value is 1/1/1995
    
    Returns:
    
    RelativeDateItem instance, for chaining setter calls

    RelativeDateItems do not make use of the standard FormItem.formatEditorValue() and FormItem.parseEditorValue() methods. Developers can customize the display values for these items in the following ways:
    - The presetOptions map allows standard preset RelativeDateString and RelativeDateShortcut values to be mapped to custom display values
    - The text displayed for each of the timeUnitOptions (e.g:"N days ago") may be customized via the per-time unit title attributes (daysFromNowTitle, daysAgoTitle, etc)
    - The dateFormatter and inputFormat may be used modify how date values are displayed (both in the text entry box and in the calculatedDateField
  - getEnteredValue
```
public void getEnteredValue()
```
    Returns the raw text value typed into this items value text field
  - getFiscalCalendar

public void setFiscalCalendar(FiscalCalendar fiscalCalendar)
```
    Sets the FiscalCalendar object that will be used by this item's DateChooser. If unset, the global fiscal calendar is used.
    
    Parameters:
    
    fiscalCalendar - the fiscal calendar for this chooser, if set, or the global one otherwise
  - setDefaultProperties
```
public static void setDefaultProperties(RelativeDateItem relativeDateItemProperties)
```
    Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties of the class instance passed to this function. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.
    Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.
    
    Parameters:
    
    relativeDateItemProperties - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
    
    See Also:
    
    SGWTProperties
  - getRelativeDate

    baseDate - base value for conversion. Defaults to today
    
    Returns:
    
    resulting absolute date value
  - setPresetOptions
```
public void setPresetOptions(java.util.LinkedHashMap valueMap)
```
    Set up a set of standard relative dates such as "today" or "tomorrow" that the user can choose directly from the valueField of this item.
    This is similar to a standard FormItem::setValueMap(), valueMap - the parameter passed in should be a HashMap mapping RelativeDate strings to display values. The default set of preset options (expressed in JSON) are:
```
 {
  "$today" : "Today",
  "$yesterday" : "Yesterday",
  "$tomorrow" : "Tomorrow",
  "-1w" : "Current day of last week",
  "+1w" : "Current day of next week",
  "-1m" : "Current day of last month",
  "+1m" : "Current day of next month"
  }
  
```
    In addition to these presets, options are shown for each of the #setTimeUnitOptions,time unit options.
    Parameters:
    
    -
  - setRangeRoundingGranularity
```
public void setRangeRoundingGranularity(java.util.Map rangeRoundingGranularity)
```
    A map from a granularity of time specified by a user to the granularity of time used for rounding.
    A relative date such as "n days from now" is normally shifted to the end of the day when used as a range endpoint, and the beginning of the day when used as the beginning of a range. (The rounding direction on some item can be specified via +link{relativeDateItem.rangePosition}). This causes the intuitive behavior that "from yesterday to today" is from the beginning of yesterday to the end of today, and that "from today until 5 days from now" includes the entirety of Friday if today is Monday.
    This same rule can be applied to any time granularity, such that "from now until 20 minutes from now" is up to 5:32 if it is now 5:11:34, and "from now until 2 months from now" means end of June if it is mid-April.
    User intuitions about where this rounding is expected for any given time period tend to vary based on what kind of event is being discussed and subtle phrasing differences (consider "up to one year from now", "until next year", "within the next couple of years"). The defaults behaviors are:
    - for days, weeks and months round to day end/beginning
    - for hours, round to minute end/beginning
    - for minutes and seconds, round to second end/beginning
    To customize this rounding behavior, this attribute may be set to a Map mapping each timeUnit to the granularity for that timeUnit.
    For example the following config code would produce an item where the user could select only day or week values, and the selected value would be rounded to the beginning of the day if a day was selected, or the beginning of the week if a week was selected:
```
  RelativeDateItem fromDate = new RelativeDateItem("from");
  fromDate.setRangePosition(RelativeDateRangePosition.START);
  fromDate.setTimeUnitOptions(TimeUnit.DAY, TimeUnit.WEEK);
    
  Map roundingMap = new HashMap();
  roundingMap.put(TimeUnit.DAY, TimeUnit.DAY);
  roundingMap.put(TimeUnit.WEEK, TimeUnit.WEEK);
  fromDate.setRangeRoundingGranularity(roundingMap);
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    rangeRoundingGranularity -
  - setDateFormatter
```
public RelativeDateItem setDateFormatter(DateDisplayFormat dateFormatter)
```
    Format for displaying dates in the valueField and calculatedDateField. Defaults to the system-wide default established by Date.setShortDisplayFormat, or if this item has its type specified as datetime, Date.setShortDatetimeDisplayFormat.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setDateFormatter in class FormItem
    
    Parameters:
    
    dateFormatter - dateFormatter Default value is null
    
    Returns:

  - setDateFormatter
```
public RelativeDateItem setDateFormatter(DateDisplayFormatter formatter)
```
    Formatter function for displaying dates in the valueField and calculatedDateField in some custom format. Typically the setDateParser(DateParser) method should also be applied to ensure dates can be both formatted and edited date strings parsed back into actual date values.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dateFormatter - dateFormatter Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    RelativeDateItem instance, for chaining setter calls
  - setDateParser
```
public void setDateParser(DateParser parser)
```
    Custom date parser function for direct user input of date values. Typically used in conjunction with setDateFormatter(DateDisplayFormatter).
    Note that setDateFormatter(DateDisplayFormat) and setInputFormat(String) already provide a mechanism for customizing the display format for date values displayed in this item.
  - setEditorValueParser
```
public void setEditorValueParser(FormItemValueParser parser)
```
    RelativeDateItems do not make use of the standard FormItem.setEditorValueFormatter() and FormItem.setEditorValueParser() methods. Developers can customize the display values for these items in the following ways:
    - The RelativeDateItem.presetOptions map allows standard preset RelativeDateString and RelativeDateShortcut values to be mapped to custom display values
    - The text displayed for each of the RelativeDateItem.timeUnitOptions (e.g:"N days ago") may be customized via the per-time unit title attributes (RelativeDateItem.daysFromNowTitle, RelativeDateItem.daysAgoTitle, etc)
    - setDateFormatter and setInputFormat / setDateParser may be used modify how date values are displayed (both in the text entry box and in the calculatedDateField)
    Overrides:
    
    setEditorValueParser in class FormItem
    
    Parameters:
    
    parser - the FormItemValueParser
  - setEditorValueFormatter
```
public void setEditorValueFormatter(FormItemValueFormatter formatter)
```
    RelativeDateItems do not make use of the standard FormItem.setEditorValueFormatter() and FormItem.setEditorValueParser() methods. Developers can customize the display values for these items in the following ways:
    - The RelativeDateItem.presetOptions map allows standard preset RelativeDateString and RelativeDateShortcut values to be mapped to custom display values
    - The text displayed for each of the RelativeDateItem.timeUnitOptions (e.g:"N days ago") may be customized via the per-time unit title attributes (RelativeDateItem.daysFromNowTitle, RelativeDateItem.daysAgoTitle, etc)
    - setDateFormatter and setInputFormat / setDateParser may be used modify how date values are displayed (both in the text entry box and in the calculatedDateField)
    Overrides:
    
    setEditorValueFormatter in class FormItem
    
    Parameters:
    
    formatter - the FormItemValueFormatter
  - getValueFieldComboBox
```
public ComboBoxItem getValueFieldComboBox()
```
