International date formats

Question:     

In Australia, we use the dd/mm/yy date format.  Does Milestones support this format?

 

I would like to be able to input dates in the dd/mm/yy format.  (I am aware that once input, the format can be changed.)

 

Answer:

Yes.  This is something you need to set via the Windows Control Panel.  To do this:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Control Panel.  

  2. Double-click the Regional Options icon.

  3. Click the Date tab.

  4. For Short Date Style choose dd-mm-yy.

  5. On this dialog panel, you can also change the date separator to a slash if it is not set to one already.
