# Date and Time Format Customization

Customize date and time formats in your email templates with EasyMails. Set regional locale, 12/24-hour time, and display style per template.

#### How It Works

* Date Columns: Display according to the format and locale you choose.
* Timeline Columns: Both start and end dates will follow the same date format settings applied to the template.
* Time Columns: Choose between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
* Number & Formula Columns: These fields will retain the same formatting as your monday.com board (decimals, currency, percentages, etc.).

#### How It Helps

* Ensures consistency across all date and time values in your emails.
* Avoids confusion for international teams by localizing date and time formats.
* Preserves data accuracy by keeping numbers and formulas identical to your board setup.
