Scout contains several implementation of {{ScoutLink|Concepts|Field|fields}} and {{ScoutLink|Concepts|Column|columns}} to cover the most common types of data that are used in business application. These implementations provide formatting and parsing mechanisms (taking care of the locale settings). In some cases a picker is also associated to the field  to improve the user experience.
+
 
+
For the developer of a scout application, this also enables to manipulate the value of the field with the corresponding Java Object (no need to cast and to parse the text input).

===Time===
+
Time is store in a Java Date Object (Between 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000 and 1970-01-01 23:59:59.999).
+
* {{ScoutLink|Concepts|TimeColumn|Time Column}}
+
* {{ScoutLink|Concepts|TimeField|Time Field}}
+
 
+
The DateUtility class provides method to convert this value to a double in the interval [0.0, 1.0[ or to combine the time represented in the Date with a Date without any time.
+
 
+
===Boolean===
+
* {{ScoutLink|Concepts|BooleanColumn|Boolean Column}}
+
* {{ScoutLink|Concepts|BooleanField|Boolean Field}}
+
 
+
===Smart<T>===
+
This is not a Java Data type. Smart is a scout concept to designate a smart association realized with {{ScoutLink|Concepts|CodeType|CodeType}} or {{ScoutLink|Concepts|LookupCall|LookupCall}}. The Key of type T can be any Serializable java Object (<code>Long</code>, <code>String</code>, …). We speak from a Smart association, because there is more than just a text (display text) associated to the key (Icon, Color, TooltipText...)
