Overview
This article describes detailed instruction on how to change the classic M-Files Web date format from "MM/DD/YYYY" to "DD/MM/YYYY".
Notes
- The M-Files Web client (New Web, vNext) follows the browser's language preference for the date formats. This article does not apply to it.
- This approach is applicable only for on-premises, it is not available in the M-Files Cloud.
- You need to perform these steps again after upgrading M-Files Server.
Solution
There are certain steps needs to be followed to achieve the date format changes.
- Start -> RUN -> Inetmgr
- Open Internet Information Services (IIS).
- Select your M-Files website.
- Open .NET GLOBALIZATION.
- From Culture tab, select the required Culture and UI Culture. By default, UI Culture is set to Auto Detect which will fetch the setting from the system's date format.
- Enable Client based culture -> False.
- UI Culture - English (United Kingdom) (en-GB).
- Restart your M-Files website.
