{{Chunk30:Help_screen_Quick_Tips_Header/en}} *If you are a beginning user, you can just keep the default values here until you learn more about using global options. *If you are an advanced user, you can save time by creating good default values here. When you set up menu items and create articles, you will be able to accept the default values for most options. *For example, to show the 'Create Date' for an article in your Articles menu items, then set that option to "Show" here and it will be the default value. *All values set here can be overridden at the menu item, category, or article level.

{{Chunk30:Help_screen_Related_Information_Header/en}} * Date Format: For example, you can use D M Y for day month year or d-m-y for a short version eg. 28-12-16. If left blank, it uses DATE_FORMAT_LC1 from your language file. Learn more about format strings: PHP-Manual.
