Allow for re-calculation of indicator of seconds/minutes/time

If creating a report based on indicators that have values in seconds, such as system uptime, DI should provide me the choice to change what the display shows. If the indicator normally displays as seconds, allow me to select days instead and show ...

Allow for defining custom date and time formats. This should be globally or per tenant. Maybe have a few predefined formats to choose from. Maybe have ISO 8601 as the default. Let us choose the default time zone as UTC regardless of our local time zone. This should cover all places where a date and time is displayed - unless it came from an external source like in metadata. Maybe let a different format be chosen per widget if needed.

Having a consistent format across all tools would be very nice to have, so being able to define it in DI would help in that. Having everything default to UTC would be very nice since 100% of our reports are displayed in UTC and the SevOne cluster ...
