You can customize the format that Deskpro uses to display dates and times in the Dates and Times section of Settings.

The formatting will apply to the agent interface and the user web portal.

Use the format characters from the table below to specify how Deskpro should display dates.

For example, the date format M j Y means that when the interface needs to display a date, it will display something like “Jan 1 2015”. If you wanted it to display “1st January 15”, you would edit the Date format field to read “jS F y”.
