Abstract: Embodiments are directed to receiving a date entry using a touchscreen user interface (“UI”) by receiving a request to provide a date and provide a month portion of a date entry widget. Embodiments receive from a first interaction with the UI, a selection of one of the selectable months. Embodiments provide a day portion of the date entry widget, and receive, from a second interaction with the UI, a selection of one of the selectable months. Embodiments provide a year portion of the date entry widget, where the year portion includes single year increment/decrement selectors and predefined multiple year increment/decrement selectors. Embodiments receive from multiple interactions with the UI a selection of at least one of the single year increment/decrement selectors and at least one of the predefined multiple year increment/decrement selectors and, based on the selections, enter the selected date.
