1.
Double-click the date script in the Scripts pane.

4.
Now type a dot after formatter, press Ctrl + space and choose one of the functions to
format a date and time; see "Creating a Date object from a string" on page1336.

The Locale, set in the Edit > Locale dialog, has an influence on the formatting of a date. The
Locale can be the system's locale, a specific locale, or it can depend on the value of a data field; see
"Locale" on page782.

OnTheGo template wizards" on page579). The Wizard doesn't just add the form, it also

page705), style sheets and JavaScript files, and extra pre-made elements.
