    How do you insert the date/time of this report on at least the first page?

    Hi John,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Since there is no option to add a Date Picker element in the Report, you can instead add a Text field, where you can add the date and time. Let me show you how:

    1. Open your report in Report Builder, and click on the Plus sign in the upper left side.
    2. Then under Basic Elements, select Text, then drag it to the first page.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Hi John,

    Unfortunately, there's no option to add current Date and Time in the Reports. While that feature isn’t available in Jotform right now, I’ve sent your request to our Developers for review. When or if it gets developed will depend on their current workload, how possible it is, and how much demand there is from other users. If/when we have any updates, we’ll follow up here and keep you posted.
