Introduction

The Date Formatter allows you to transform the existing date format to another date format for datalist display.

Date Formatter Properties

Name	Description	Screens (Click to view)
Date stored in UTC timezone	Click this checkbox if you are storing dates in UTC timezone in database.	Figure 1: Date Formatter Properties
Data Date Format	Set to follow your Joget System Settings > System Date Format, for example "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm aa". Use the Java date format. for example "yyyy-MM-dd" for "2011-06-01". Read the Date Format Pattern Syntax documentation for a list of date formats you can use.
Display Date Format	Use Java date format, for example "dd/MM/yyyy for 01/06/2001".

In this example, we will format the column "Date Created" (dateCreated in the database table) to another date format in datalist builder.

The Data Date Format that we should set should be based on the datalist preview from the datalist builder.

This may also be subjected to the system locale and date format attributes set in the System Settings. (Please see General Settings - Server Locale and Time Zone for more information)

In this example, without the use of Date Formatter, the Data Date Format would be "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm aa".

With the use of the Date Formatter, we will change the Display Date Format to "hh:mm aa dd/MM/yyyy".

Do note that this setting does NOT change the actual formatting of the date, but merely on how the date is displayed.

After then, you can see the result of this configuration in datalist preview and runtime.
