Description | Use the short keyword to obtain a date, time, name, or ID in the most compressed form available. In general, a short form is shorter than either the abbreviated form or the long form. If the useSystemDate property is set to false, a short date looks like this: 7/21/00 If the useSystemDate is true, the short date is formatted according to the system settings. If the useSystemDate property is set to false, a short time looks like this: 11:22 AM If the useSystemDate is true, the short time is formatted according to the system settings. A short object name is simply its name, with no qualifiers. For example, a short card name looks like this: This Card A short object ID looks like this: 2238
