Hi,

How to change the display format for dates on dashboards? Actually for all of Losant would be nice. We wish to use DD/MM/YY rather than MM/DD/YY.

Thanks

We’ll have to look into that. Ideally most places dates are used on the Losant interface should use the browser’s localization settings.

Dates are displayed in a few places on dashboards. Can you drop some screenshots in here of the specific places you’ve seen?

It seems to be everywhere that uses dates… Data explorer and graph widgets are two examples. I am using Chrome. Generally all other dates display as DD/MM/YY for me.

Thanks for the screenshots. I’ll submit a ticket with the team here and see if we can get those localized.
