Locale settings and date format

Top Previous Next

There are two ways of configuring locale format:

1. In TO3000, Version 9.0 (for each Client individually):

•	open Client window and click Main tab;

•	click Locale Format button in client profile;

•	select Custom locale in the drop-down list next to Generation of RTF files: string;

•	configure the code in Short Date Format or Long Date Format to include 4-5 capital M letters (like dd.MMMM.YYYY).

Note: Please note that Long Date Format for "long” date variables: \DATE_DUE_LONG\, \INVOICE_DATE_LONG\, and so on. Settings in Short Date Format will affect regular variables, like \DATE_DUE\, \INVOICE_DATE\, and so on.

2. In Windows Control Panel (these settings are used as default in TO3000, Version 9.0):

- open Windows Control Panel

- double-click Regional and Language Options

- click Customize button on Regional Options tab

- click Date tab

- configure long (or short) date format options to include 4-5 capital M letters (like dd.MMMM.YYYY). To remove day of the week from view, delete extra "d" letters, so that no more than 2 "d-s" are present in the code string.
