# How to Add a Date and Time Stamp to Form Entries

Fluent Forms makes it easy to track when forms are submitted. Adding a date and time stamp helps analyze user activity and submission patterns.

This documentation will show you how to add a date and time stamp to form entries with fluent form.

## Check Default Timestamps

First, navigate to the **Entries** section in your Fluent Forms dashboard. Each submission includes a **Submitted at** timestamp, showing the date and time when the form was submitted.

To view more details, hover over the displayed timestamp to reveal the precise **month**, **day**, and **time**.

## Add Custom Date and Time Stamps

To add a more customized timestamp to your forms, open the form editor and add a **Hidden Field** from the **Advanced Fields** section.

Now click the **three-dot menu** in the **Input Customization** section. Select one of the predefined formats:

```
Date (mm/dd/yyyy)
Date (dd/mm/yyyy)
```

After setting the desired format, click the **Save Form** button.

When a user submits the form, the custom date and time stamp will automatically appear in the **Entries** section.
