•
Date: Use the Edit field to customize the date format on the player (refer to the chart of terms for different
abbreviation styles). Use the
Preview date button to see an example of how the date format will look. You can also
customize how months and days are displayed in both
Short and Long form.
•
Time: Use the Edit field to customize how time is displayed on the player (refer to the chart of terms for different
measurements). Use the
Preview time button to see an example of how the time format will look. You can also
customize how the AM and PM abbreviations are formatted.
Note: A BrightSign Network account can only have one date and time setting: Changing the date/time format for one
presentation, and then uploading it to the BrightSign Network, will change the date/time format for all presentations on
your account. Similarly, a standalone player can only have one date/time format, even if there are multiple
presentations scheduled on the player.
