The date and time format displayed by AppColl can be set for the entire account or on a per-user basis. Please note this can only be done by an Account Administrator.

AppColl supports dates in the form year-month-day, day-month-year and month-day-year. The month and day can be spelled out if desired. Times can be displayed in 12- or 24-hour formats. Some examples:

2027-10-23 2:34 PM
Mon Oct 23 2027 14:34
Mon 23/10/2027 2:34 PM

Note: These settings do not affect the format of dates in exported CSV files, which will always be in YYYY-MM-DD format to prevent incorrect interpretation by programs reading the CSV file, such as Microsoft Excel.

  1. To change the format, hover over the Gear icon and select Settings.
  2. Select the General tab.
  3. Scroll down to the Date & Time Format section. Select the setting you wish to use from the options.
  4. Select the Allow users to override… checkbox to permit users to set their own formats in their profile page.
  5. Click the Save button.
