+# Call Date Dialog
+
+This project contains sample code that demonstrates how to call a datepicker dialog from method code.
+
+## Project Details
+
+See [TESTSTATUS file](./TESTSTATUS.md) for latest testing information.
+
+#### Built Using:
+Aras 11.0 SP7
+
+#### Versions Tested:
+Aras 11.0 SP7
+
+#### Browsers Tested:
+Internet Explorer 11, Firefox 38 ESR, Chrome
+
+## How It Works
+
+The project's import package contains a Javascript method - labs_CallDateDialog. This method calls a datepicker dialog and then executes a custom callback function with the selected date as a parameter. The callback function in this sample code simply displays the date parameter in a browser alert, but the same approach could be used to perform some other business logic with the selected date.  
+
+## Installation
+
+#### Important!
+**Always back up your code tree and database before applying an import package or code tree patch!**
+
+### Pre-requisites
+
+1. Aras Innovator installed (version 11.0 SPx preferred)
+2. Aras Package Import tool
+3. CallDateDialog import package
+
+### Install Steps
+
+1. Backup your database and store the BAK file in a safe place.
+2. Open up the Aras Package Import tool.
+3. Enter your login credentials and click **Login**
+  * _Note: You must login as root for the package import to succeed!_
+4. Enter the package name in the TargetRelease field.
+  * Optional: Enter a description in the Description field.
+5. Enter the path to your local `..\CallDateDialog\Import\imports.mf` file in the Manifest File field.
+6. Select **CallDateDialog** in the Available for Import field.
+7. Select Type = **Merge** and Mode = **Thorough Mode**.
+8. Click **Import** in the top left corner.
+9. Close the Aras Package Import tool.

+You are now ready to login to Aras and try out the Call Date Dialog action.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Log in to Aras as admin.
+2. In the main menu, select **Actions > Call Date Dialog**.
+3. When the datepicker dialog appears, choose a date.
+
+The dialog will be dismissed and a browser alert dialog will appear, displaying the selected date value.
