2.5.6 Customizing Date and Time Formats

GroupWise offers several date and time formats that determine the way dates and times display
throughout the application. For example, you might prefer dates to appear with the day first,
followed by the month, and then the year, such as 24 August, 2008.
The time and date formats in GroupWise are highly customizable. You can specify the order of
elements, the type of separators between elements, whether dates are spelled out or represented by
numbers, and several other options.
