[Custom format]: this property allows you to manually specify a date format. It is only displayed if Use custom format is selected. It is mandatory if shown.
-
Example output format: illustrates the selected date format using the current date and time.
-
Web content default: used to provide an optional default value for the attribute. This is used when customizing landing page content through the inclusion of an attribute in landing page content; if a realtime cache value is available for the attribute, it is shown when the page is rendered. If a value is not available and a Web content default value has been provided, the default is displayed. If neither is available, no content is rendered.
Note that, when used in an email offer, application of a date format at an attribute overrides any overall date format applied at the offer itself.
