Configurable Date Formats in Summary Screens

As of version 1.17.0, it is now possible to specify a per-Role date format that will be used in all summary screens. You can configure this from the Role Manager, as shown below.

The date format strings follow the Microsoft standards and are easy to use. There are lots of formats, but the most common ones are shown below:

  “d”: day if the month, 1-31
  “dd”: day of the month, 01-31
  “ddd”: abbreviated name of the day of the week (mon, tue, etc)
  “dddd”: abbreviated name of the day of the week (monday, tuesday, etc)

  “M”: month, 1-12
  “MM”: month, 01-12
  “MMM”: abbreviated month name (jan, feb, etc)
  “MMMM”: full name of the month (january, february, etc)

  “y”: year, 0-99
  “yy”: year, 00-99
  “yyyy”: year as a 4-digit number

  “h”: hour using a 12 -hour clock, 0-11
  “hh”: hour using a 12 -hour clock, 00-11
  “H”: hour using a 24 -hour clock, 0-23
  “HH”: hour using a 24 -hour clock, 00-23

Examples:
dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm  “01/12/2011 15:35”
dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm  “01-12-2011 15:35″
ddd d MMMM”    “tue 4 january 2011”

One thing that you should remember is that the specified format applies to all date columns in all summary screens.
