Dates in M-Files web

Question

I am not sure if this has been asked before. When I look at the M-Files web I can see dates formatted in two different ways - American and European. This causes a lot of confusion. Can this be fixed?

Joonas Linkola · Answer

Date property format follows the browser language preferences in M-Files Web. For instance, if you browser language is set as "English (United States)", dates will get American formatting. 
 However, when dates are included in automatically-calculated text properties like the Invoice ref property in your screenshot they get the format based on the server or vault locale settings. This is because the automatic text value is calculated on the server. You can control this formatting with a vault setting: Specifying Vault-Specific Locale Settings 
 M-Files Desktop follows the regional settings of Windows. More information in this support article: How to manage date and number formats in M-Files
