Date-Timestamp parameter in pentaho reporting

Question

how to add/display timestamp while creating a report using pentaho report designer 3.6, having date as a parameter and when the user chose the date, the timestamp should be displayed

Answer 1

Define your parameter as type "Timestamp" or "Date" (not Date (SQL)!). All you need to do then is to display your parameter in a date-field with the correct format-string to display time-elements.
