Personalize the system date format

You can personalize the format in which date values appear in your instance.

About this task

Personalizing the date format does not change global settings or impact the way other users see date values.

Note: It is recommended that you use a yyyy format-based date. For example, use MM-dd-yyyy, yyyy-MM-dd, or dd-MM-yyyy.

• If your system date format is set to use the yy year format, the system considers dates 20 years later or 80 years earlier from the current date as a date in the past or future leading to an unexpected behavior.
• For example, if you set the year as 51 for 2051, the system considers the year as 1951. Similarly, if you set the year as 37 for 1937, the system considers the year as 2037.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Self-Service > My Profile.
