Text Date Format

Choose the date/time format which is used when you insert the current date and time into a source. You can select:

Local Format (Default) Use universal time (UTC) converted to your local time zone.
Universal Format Use UTC (coordinated universal time). UTC is the reference time zone from which all other time zones around the world are calculated—it is the successor of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
