Customizing Date & Time Format

Follow

In the Settings/Date & Time - you'll find a place where you can enter in your own format for the date and time. Just to clarify, we have 3 formats; datetime, date, and time, because in some instances the date and time are bound together (datetime), and other instances they're separate (date and/or time).

Below is a quick Babel cheat sheet on how to build your own date and time format. Metro Publisher supports the full Babel
