Change the Account Date Format

The Account Date Format setting allows you to control the default date format for users on your account as well as configurable dates across the account.

Account Date Format

When you or your users log in to the GoCanvas portal, most dates should display with your Account Date Format. A few examples of what this impacts includes Last Edit date on the Forms page and Submission Date on the Submissions.

Date Format Options

MM/DD/YYYY

i.e. 03/27/2024 or March 27 2024

DD/MM/YYYY

i.e. 27/03/2024 or 27 March 2024

YYYY/MM/DD

i.e. 2024/03/27 or 2024 March 27

This also means that configurable dates across the account will default to your Account Date Format. Currently these dates include the PDF Date Format and Submission Numbering. New forms on your account will pull the same date format as the Account Date Format. If needed, you can customize the PDF Date Format on an form by form basis.

1. From the left navigation, expand the Account drop down and select Account Settings.
2. Under Account Time and Date Settings, find Account Date Format and select Settings.
3. Select your desired format from the drop down and Save.
