About custom date and time stamp formats

The Custom Date/Time Stamp Format setting allows you to define how dates are displayed when using the [Current Date:Custom] merge field in a Library Template.

You can customise the order and presentation of date components to match your agency's preferred formatting standards.

Custom date formats are built using a combination of format segments and style segments.

  • Format segments determine the date components that are displayed, such as the day, month, and year
  • Style segments determine how those components are separated, such as using a slash (/), comma (,), or space

Manage custom date and time stamp formats

To configure a custom date format:

  • Go to: Settings > Library > Custom Date/Time Stamp
  • Drag the required format segments into the Format Display section
  • Use the available style segments to define how the date components are separated
  • Review the displayed format
  • Click Save to apply your changes
