Field	Description
Type	From this drop-down list you can select one of the following options: Short Date — By default, this option displays the month, day, and year with the month expressed as a number. The month, day, and year are separated by the date separator in the Date Options group box (10/29/2014, for example) or your regional settings. The order of the elements of the date is determined by the Date Order field (month/day/year or day/month/year, for example). Medium Date — By default, this option displays the month, day, and year with the month spelled out. You set the sequence of the date elements in the Date Order field (October 29, 2014, for example). The separators between the elements are always controlled by your regional settings. Long Date — By default, this option displays the day of the week spelled out first, then the other date elements in the order of the Date Order field using the separators in the user’s regional settings (Monday, October 29th, 2014, for example). Short Date and Time — This option displays the Short Date plus a space and the time (10/28/2014 11:30:21, for example). Time — This option displays the time only.
