Choose whether dates in oboloo are shown as DD/MM/YYYY (common in the UK, Europe and Australia) or MM/DD/YYYY (common in the US). It's one setting for your whole organisation.

Before you start

Only users whose role has Edit access to Company Settings can change the date format. By default, that's the Administrator role. To check your access, see Viewing Your Access Rights.

Change the date format

Open Settings > Company Settings

Select Date Format is on the Edit Company Details card.

Choose MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY

Pick the format in Select Date Format.

Click Save Changes

Your changes are saved.

What happens next

  • Everyone sees the new format: dates on records, tables and date pickers use it. Individual users can't choose their own format.

  • Imports don't change: CSV imports always expect dates as DD/MM/YYYY, whatever you choose here.

  • You can change it back at any time in the same way.

Troubleshooting

Dates still show the old format

Refresh your browser. If they still don't change, log out and sign in again.

My import rejects the dates

Format the dates in your CSV as DD/MM/YYYY, even if your company uses MM/DD/YYYY.

I can't change the setting or don't see Save Changes

Your role doesn't have Edit access to Company Settings. Ask a user with the Administrator role.
