Certain field elements will use one, and +certain field elements will use the other. These distinctions are hard-coded +in the various UI templates, with the idea being that timestamp fields in +which the date component alone is sufficient information (for example, DOB) +will use the Format Dates setting. Fields where the time component is +important (for example, Checkout Time) will use the Format Date+Time setting. + +When the settings Format Dates and Format Date+Time are unset, we will default +to "shortDate" (M/d/yy) and "short" (M/d/yy h:mm a), respectively. +
