Auto-Names offer two types of date options: static (%D1, %D2) and real-time (<D1>, <D2>). When static date options are used, dates are stored in the Auto-Name using the regional settings of the workstation that stored the document. These dates are displayed in the same format regardless of the regional settings on the workstation that retrieves the document, which may make date formats appear inconsistent when documents are stored and retrieved from workstations with different regional formats.
If dates in Auto-Names should be displayed using the regional settings of the workstation that retrieves the document, use the real-time date options.
