Question
Date format input via a calendar changes when logged in from a different machine.
Hi ,
The screenshots did not get uploaded properly. PFA the screenshot word
I am facing this issue. In the screenshot - DateLogin1 we can see a date time input from a calendar.
Now the date format is DDMMYYYY. Following is the presentation in the section.
Now with the same settings when I log in through my id in another machine having no relavant check-outs I see the date format changes in the UI
Now the format is MM/DD/YYYY instead of DD/MM/YYYY. Also the months and days showed like 1/18 instead of 01/18 like in the first case.
Is the format that we get depend on something in the local system that we are working on?
Thanks in advance

Hi Marc, thanks a lot for the reply I got you point. Just one question that when you say "regional settings of the machine you are logging in from" how can I change the settings and test if the format change takes place or not.
Hello!
It appears that your images are not appearing. Are you able to reupload them? If they are not working when inserting, please add them as a file.

Hi Nilotpal
You need to go to your control panel and change the system locale by clicking the clock , Language and Region options.
Accepted Solution
The locale settings are derived from either the machine where you are accessing this or based on the locale settings in the operator ID . The locale setting in the Operator ID always takes precedence
There is a lesson on locale related settings in the Self study course for UI specialist. Suggest you to go through it for a better understanding.
It sounds like your operator ID probably doesn't have a default locale set.
The date format is dependent in the first instance on the operator default locale set in your operator ID record. If this is not set then the format will depend on the regional settings of the machine you are logging in from.
