Have a consistent way to specify start and end times for new archives in PI System Management Tools

If you go to create a new archive, you can select "Single archive" or "Multiple archives for backfilling". If you choose the former and choose "Create archive with fixed start and end time", you can type the start and end times with precision down to the second. If you choose the latter, you can type the start and end times or choose them from the calendar widget, but they are only precise to the date. My suggestion is to provide a consistent experience for choosing start and end times across both cases. The best of both worlds would be to be able to type the start and end times or choose them from a widget, both with precision to the second.
