Setting Date and Time Formats

Purpose: Use the Date/Time option to choose a formatting style for the date and time strings displayed throughout the Console. You can also customize the details of any style you pick.

Where: Edit > Preferences > Date & Time

1. Click the Formats buttons and choose a date/time style from the lists for Date & Time Format and Short Date & Time Format options.

2. Select Express all times as GMT to universally show time values in GMT rather than local times.

3. Click Apply to put your changes into effect and leave the Preferences dialog box open, or OK to save your changes and close the dialog box.

If you want, you can customize the selected format string. Edit the Format string using the Java-style date options described in the Format Help window.
