Format Registry entry (System-wide)

This Format Registry entry is for setting System-wide formats on latitude and longitude, date and time fields. It differs from the Format Registry entry (field specific) which specifies two separate features on a per field basis: case-conversion and auto-incrementation.

The Format Registry entry has the following applications:

Circa

Specify a circa period (a start and an end date) and a title for the period.

Circa|Ranges

Specify an adjustment (+/-) in years to apply to a date within a given period.

Date Input

Specify the format for dates entered into fields that have a Date data type.

Date Output

Specify the format in which dates will display in a field in a module when retrieved from a database. Only affects fields that have a Date data type.

Time Output

Specify the format in which times will display in a client when retrieved from a database.

Latitude Output

Specify the format in which latitude values will display in a client when retrieved from a database.

Longitude Output

Specify the format in which longitude values will display in a client when retrieved from a database.
