2. Setting the Date Format

Up one level

For example, setting the date format to YYYY/MM/DD, DD/MM/YYYY etc.

Setting the date format is done in the ZMI and so is only directly available in Local Solutions. Users of Hosted Solutions may contact OpenEngagement to set the date format.

The date format is set in portal_properties, site_properties in the ZMI. The date format is specified in a format such as: %Y-%m-%d.  The date format should, therefore, be one of the following:

%Y-%m-%d

%Y-%d-%m

%m-%Y-%d

%m-%d-%Y

%d-%Y-%m

%d-%m-%Y

The actual dates shown in the Open Engagement, for the most part, are taken from the server's clock; others are extracted from the uploaded Working Papers client files. These dates are used for the Engagement histories, object creation times, last accessed times and so on. Users cannot set this clock through the DMS; they can only change the date format.
