How Locale Date Format is Determined?

The locale date format is determined using the Java libraries that Joget DX is built on. These libraries help retrieve and format date values according to the specified locale settings.

Here's an example using the default Expenses Claim app, specifically looking at the Created column with no formatter applied:

  • Date displayed with the en_US locale (mm/dd/yyyy)


  • Date displayed with the en_GB locale (dd/mm/yyyy)


Affected elements/modules

Locale settings may influence the following components:

Users can set their server timezone to UTC or GMT.

Utilizing these settings ensures that your Joget DX system reflects the appropriate regional settings, providing a seamless and localized user experience.
