# Date format

Choose how dates are displayed across the application

The date format is a personal preference: each user picks how dates are shown, and the choice applies only to their own session — it does not change anything for other users.

## Change your date format

1. Sign in and navigate to **My profile**.
2. Click **Settings**.
3. Open the **Preferences** tab.
4. Under **Date format**, pick an option. A sample of the selected format is shown just below the dropdown.

The change takes effect immediately and applies everywhere dates appear — tables, detail pages, and exports of record dates.

{% hint style="info" %}
This setting controls how dates are **displayed**. The date picker used when you enter or edit a date in a form is provided by your browser and follows your browser's locale — its appearance is not affected by this setting.
{% endhint %}

## Available formats

| Option                          | Example                     |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Automatic (follow language)** | depends on your UI language |
| **ISO 8601**                    | `2026-05-31`                |
| **Day/Month/Year**              | `31/05/2026`                |
| **Month/Day/Year**              | `05/31/2026`                |
| **Long, day first**             | `31 May 2026`               |
| **Long, month first**           | `May 31, 2026`              |

Both long formats keep their component order whatever your language is — only the month name is translated. A French user sees `31 mai 2026` for **Long, day first** and `mai 31, 2026` for **Long, month first**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Automatic** is the default. It derives the format from your interface language — for example, English shows `5/31/2026` while French shows `31/05/2026`. Pick any of the explicit formats to keep the same layout regardless of language. See [Changing the language](/ciso-assistant/configuration/language.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://intuitem.gitbook.io/ciso-assistant/configuration/date-format.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
