All date time and time fields in the application will be affected by this setting unless they use the Specify a Time Format or Specify Alternate Time Format Field Settings. This setting will also be applied to the default reporting output for date time and time fields.
To build a new format simply type out the format that you would like to see using the special part markers where you want the different date parts to appear. For example a 12 hour time format would be {g}:{i} {a} and would output something like 3:36 pm.
