Date and Time Format
Here you can set how dates and times are displayed in all tabs, reports and exports.
Date and time options
Short Date, Long Date and Default time use the settings from the Regional and Language settings of the Windows operating system, accessible through the Windows Control Panel.
You can customize how the date or time information is displayed by selecting Custom Date or Custom Time and combining the elements as listed in the tables Mean Kinetic Temperature. The letters must be in the correct case (for example, "MM" in the date string, not "mm" as you would use for time value). You can use the characters '.', '/', ',' or '-' to separate elements, but you cannot add text.
