For the presentation, the number and pattern of the letters you configure in the e-mail body determines how the data appears in the resulting e-mail message.
o If the presentation is as text, using four or more letters will show the resulting value in its full form (for example, "EEEEEE" may show Monday); using less than four letters will show the value in its short or abbreviated form, if one exists (for example, "EEE" may show Mon).
o If the presentation is as numbers, using the minimum number of digits will show the resulting value, where shorter numbers are padded with zeros to appear in the configured format. For example, if you use a placeholder of "yy", the yy is replaced with 02, a zero-padded, two-digit year.
o If the presentation is as text and numbers, using three or more characters shows the resulting value as text; otherwise, the resulting value is shown as a number. For example, is you use "MM", value may appear as 05 for the month of May; if you use "MMM", the value may appear as May in runtime.
