Wise Design - Compact date input

Compact date input

A compact date input lets people enter a short date within a form.

When to use

when asking users for a date they already know, or can easily find (like their expiration date)

when asking for a full date with day, month and year (use the date input instead)
when asking users for multiple dates, such as a range, or a start and finish date (use date lookup instead)
