SPS Action: Date Time Formatter

The Date Time Formatter action allows you to format a given date/time value as needed.

  • If the DateTimeValue is not bound to another action, the action will use the current date and time.

  • If the Date Time Formatter action is bound to an action, the referenced date time will be used.
