The date and time formats are used to specify how a date will be formatted within a folder/file structure. The format follows the custom date and time format strings used in C#.
A quick summary of some of the values are as follows:
| Specifier | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| yy | Two-digit year from 00 - 99. | 2022-02-05 -> 22 |
| yyyy | Four-digit year. | 2022-02-05 -> 2022 |
| M | The month number with no leading zero. | 2022-02-05 -> 2 |
| MM | Two-digit month number with a leading zero. | 2022-02-05 -> 02 |
| MMM | Abbreviated name of the month. | 2022-02-05 -> Feb |
| MMMM | Full name of the month. | 2022-02-05 -> February |
| d | Day of the month with no leading zero. | 2022-02-05 -> 5 |
| dd | Day of the month with a leading zero. | 2022-02-05 -> 05 |
| ddd | Abbreviated name of the day. | 2022-02-05 -> Sat |
| dddd | Full name of the day. | 2022-02-05 -> Saturday |
