Change date format in Hubshare to DD/MM/YY

Question

Hi, 
 We display dates in properties on the Metadata Cards in M-Files as DD/MM/YY , however when displaying the same property fields in Hubshare, the dates are displayed as MM/DD/YY ? 
 Is this configurable somewhere for Hubshare and if so from where?

Hi Paul, 
 The date formatting is based on the user profile and language preference:

As an example: 
 European formatting: 
 
 US formatting: 
 Good to precise that in most of the cases, the user management is done with the Plugin by creating Hubshare user in M-Files. The plugin supports the user language support so you can already create the end-users with the right language configured from M-Files. 
 By the way, I never realized before that you are Paul from EUMETSAT. Because of our call today, I now know it. 
 Best regards

There is no option that exists today to configure the default timezone per customer. We have a backlog item for a while mentioning this. I don't think we will for now invest energy in this kind of options, reason being it could become obsolete if later in 2025 we have a difference approach for the user management and authentication in Hubshare, having the users known from the M-Files Server etc. 
 Sadly, for now, it remains the manual option to configure the user language preference when creating the user object in M-Files.
