Configure Region Settings Preferences

The Region Settings tab allows you to change the format for dates and times displayed in Cityworks and in data exported from Cityworks.

The Date Time Format Specifiers panel shows valid entries that can be entered on this tab. For example, if you want the year to be displayed as four digits, you would use yyyy. Or, if you want to only show the last two digits of the year, you would use yy. To the right of each field, an example of the format is displayed. If you change the value in any of the fields, that example will update to reflect your changes.
