Creating a custom time format

You can create custom time formats. The exact output depends on the locale. iHub formats times according to specifications in the locale map for Management Console. Table 5‑8 lists the time format symbols that you use to construct a custom time format and the expression to which each variable evaluates in a document. Examples and results that have a document file-name extension are document names. Examples and results without a document file-name extension are version names. The results are for the English (US) locale.
