Custom date and time formats

You can define different date formats or date time formats from the formats that are included with the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform. In the List Manager, you can use the DateFormat list to control the formatting of Date fields and the DateTimeFormat list to control the formatting of Date and Time fields.

The IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform does not directly control the language in which these names and abbreviations appear. They appear in the same language, independent of the language specified by users in their My Profile pages. The language in which the names and abbreviations appear is controlled by a layer of software that runs on top of the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform. The specifics vary with the computing environment in which the platform runs.
