Use a date picker

Date pickers vary widely. Some accept typed input, others are calendar widgets that need clicking through. axiom.ai handles both. For more on the topic, see the blog post on automating date pickers.

Type the date into an input field

If the date picker is a regular input field that accepts typed dates, use the Enter text step.

1. Open the step finder, search for enter, and add the Enter text step.
2. Click Select and choose the date input field.
3. Type the date into Text, or click Insert data to pass a date in from earlier steps.

Click through a calendar widget

When the date picker is a calendar widget, use the Date picker step.

1. Open the step finder, search for date, and add the Date picker step.
2. Click Select and choose the text element showing the current month on the picker.
3. Click Select and choose the Previous month or Next month button (depending on whether you're going back or forward in time).
4. Type the name of the target month in Month.
5. Type the target day in Day.
