Daylight Saving Time

DST is not enabled by default. If your location uses DST, you can enable it by setting the timezone to the correct city such as America/New_York. Set the timezone to corresponding city, such as America/New_York to display Daylight Saving Time format when Daylight Saving Time is enabled.

More vars and formats

Add more var names and formats if you need.

Optional date/time shift

For additional variables you can define shift (days, hours, minutes) which will be added to build timestamp. This allows to run build plan with previous day specified as parameter.
