The Date Format setting allows you to choose how dates are displayed throughout the platform, ensuring consistency across records, reports,...
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.
