Date Format in AF Event Notification

In AF please provide a way to suppress time zone and/or to format the timestamp in AF Events, particularity, Notifications. For example, in the message format in e-mail notification I do not need to indicate the time zone it was triggered in. Please make this available in the AF SDK as well as in PI System Explorer.

    This is currently possible by making changes to the Configuration database on the PI AF Server. By creating string-type Attributes at these locations, you can set the timestamp format: Configuration\OSIsoft\PIANO|TimeFormat Configuration\OSIsoft\PIANO\Notifications\Service|TimeFormat For example, the following format strings will result in timestamps that look like this: Example time used: 07-Apr-2016 15:45:00 MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss tt --> 04/07/17 03:45:00 PM dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss --> 07-04-2017 15:45:00

    Yes, I would like control over the timestamp format in the notification delivery format interface.
