The culture settings give administrators control over formats and symbols that vary amongst geographic location (e.g. $ is the currency symbol in the U.S.A but € is the symbol used in Europe). These settings can be overwritten for a specific user or group of users by modifying the Role. For more information see Roles.
The following settings are available:
Date Format
The format of date values. May be any .NET standard (ex. MM/dd/yyyy).
Time Format
The format of time values. May be any .NET standard (ex. h:mm:ss tt).
DateTime Format
The format of date-time values. May be any .NET standard (ex. M/d/yy h:mm tt).
Note: For more details on .NET Date, Time and DateTime Format Strings please visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4%28v=vs.71%29.aspx.
