I have a project for a global client who asked me to change the date format in the alarm log to DD-MM-YYYY from MM-DD-YYYY. However, I am unable to find this option in the settings. Can you provide guidance on how to make this change?
I discovered the solution to my query - it all comes down to the operating system settings. By configuring my development computer to the requested format, I was able to see it as an available option in the object settings. I hope this information proves helpful to others who may encounter the same issue!
Thank you for your input, einnh. It is indeed a common issue with Panelview Plus screens, which can be resolved by adjusting the settings in the Config Screens. However, I am facing difficulty in changing this when using View ME Station on a Panel PC or Laptop. Despite having Panel PCs running FTView ME Station V11 with the OS configured to AU (which utilizes DD/MM/YYYY format), the date is still displayed as MM-DD-YYYY. Are there any solutions available for installations without Panelview Plus screens?
It sounds like you're facing a common issue among developers working with clients globally. Sometimes, the date formatting isn't a straightforward option in the settings. However, you could work around it by writing a simple function that reformats the dates for you. If you share which programming language you're using and some more details about the project or system, I or other users can provide more accurately targeted advice.
