To set the properties of multiple objects:
Any change you make to a property setting is applied to all of the objects in the current selection to which that property applies.
A report includes several fields, each of which displays the date. The Datatype property of each field is DATE, which causes dates to be displayed in the default ORACLE format DD-MON-YY.
To use a different date format throughout the application, you need to set the Format Mask property for each field that displays dates. Rather than setting each field’s Format Mask property individually, select all of the items, then set the Format Mask property once to change the format mask for each item selected.
