Setting Date Format
The browser's language is used to determine how the date format is shown.
To change this in Chrome, go to the three dots in the top right and click "Settings". Choose "Languages" in the sidebar on the left. If the relevant language is already in the list, click the three dots and select "Display Chrome in this language". Else, click the "Add languages" button first.
Fig 1. Setting Language in Chrome
Please refer to the following documentation for how to change your language in each of our supported browsers.
After setting this, refresh your cache (Ctrl + F5) or log out and back in.
Setting Time Format
The default time zone settings can be found in Configuration > Advanced Settings.
Fig 2. Default Time zone
If the time fields being displayed are not showing correctly, you may be required to change the OS settings of the laptop in order to display the correct format. For example, if your OS settings are configured to be in 24 hour format, time picker fields will also be in 24 hour format.
Fig 3. OS date settings
After changing OS settings, you will be required to restart the browser after making these changes for settings to apply.
