You can define the system locale to automatically display the following values in your Joget DX system:
- timezone
- language
- date format
By setting the System Locale and Using Locale Date Format checkbox, you can control how date and language is presented system-wide.

How locale date format is determined?
Locale date format is retrieved using the underlying Java library Joget DX runs on.
Here's a quick comparison by using the default Expenses Claim app on the "Created" column with no formatter used at all.
Figure 3: dateCreated is platform default column that will follow system locale format set
Figure 3: Datalist using en_US locale where date displays as mm/dd/yyyy.
Figure 4: Datalist using en_GB locale where date displays as dd/mm/yyyy.
