Entering Times

Every time field in Puree (delivery times, event start and finish, staff shifts) works the same way. You can type any time you like, or pick one from a list.

Type any time

Click into the time field and just type. You are never limited to the times in the list, so 9:05 am, 11:50 am or 4:25 pm are all fine.

Puree understands most ways of writing a time:

• 930 or 9:30 becomes 9:30 am
• 2p or 2pm becomes 2:00 pm
• 14:15 becomes 2:15 pm
• noon and midnight work too

If you leave out am or pm, a single number from 1 to 6 is read as the afternoon, so 3 means 3:00 pm. Press Tab or click away to keep what you typed.

If Puree can’t read what you typed, the field goes back to its last time and shows a short hint.

Pick from the list

When you click into a time field, a list of times opens. Use the arrow keys or your mouse to choose one, then press Enter or click it.

On finish time fields, the list starts after the start time and shows how long each option runs for (for example “4 hr 30 min”), which makes staff shifts quick to set.

Change the gap between times in the list

The list shows a time every 15 minutes unless you change it. If your team usually quotes to the nearest 5 minutes, you can make the list closer together:

1. Go to Account Details
2. Find Time list steps
3. Choose every 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes
4. Save

The new steps apply to every time field for everyone in your account.

Your online order form has its own delivery time setting, so customers ordering online are not affected by this change. See Online Order Form.
