Date and Time Formats

The date and time formats control how dates and times will be displayed.

The following formats are supported:

• backupnameformat

• strftimedate

• strftimedatemonthabbr

• strftimedatefullshort

• strftimedateshort

• strftimedateshortmonthabbr

• strftimedatetime

• strftimedaydate

• strftimedaydatetime (this is the default format when not specified)

• strftimedayshort

• strftimedaytime

• strftimemonthyear

• strftimerecent

• strftimerecentfull

• strftimetime

• strftimetime12

• strftimetime24

The date and/or time format can vary depending on the language pack in use. While you can customize these using the language customization tool, making such a change will could affect the format of dates displayed throughout your site.

We recommend that you standardize the date format used throughout your site as much as possible to minimize the chance of potentially confusing your learners.
