Overview
Use exact date-time when hour-level order matters, such as alibis, travel, deadlines or overlapping scenes. Use exact date when the day matters but the hour does not. Use relative or loose timing when the draft only needs "later that night" or "three weeks later".
The visible date and time inputs change with the mode. More precise modes give continuity checks stronger evidence; looser modes are useful while outlining.
