# Sample 1. Step 17: Describe the DATE YOU ARRIVED AT THE EARTH field

> Capture the DATE YOU ARRIVED AT THE EARTH field in Sample 1 with an ArrivalDate element of type Date, configuring the date formats it can match.

The **DATE YOU ARRIVED AT THE EARTH** field needs three items, like the **YOUR PLANET NAME** field:

* A [Static Text](/flexi-capture/fls/template/static-text) element named **DateHeader** for the field label
* A [Date](/flexi-capture/fls/template/date) element named **ArrivalDate** for the field value
* A block named **ArrivalDate** for the field

Create them as described in [Steps 10](/flexi-capture/fls/tutorial/step10) to [14](/flexi-capture/fls/tutorial/step14), with these settings:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Keep the spaces in the DateHeader search text">
    In the **Search text** field, type **DATE YOU ARRIVED AT THE EARTH**. Select **Take spaces into account** and **Permit multiple lines**, and set **Line break penalty** to **1**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the ArrivalDate date formats">
    On the **Date** tab, specify all possible date formats. Months are always digits and the year is always four digits, so clear the **Word** box in the **Month** group and the **Two digits** box in the **Year** group. Leave the other options unchanged.
