P2 Explorer obtains its date and time format from the browser in which it is running. As the application runs in the context of the browser, it is unable to use the system locale. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Some browsers will default to an American locale, which displays dates\u00a0in MM\/dd\/YYYY format, with the month shown first. This is also known as US format<\/em>. E.g. 12\/31\/2016.<\/p>\n

If you prefer to see dates in a different format (such as dd\/MM\/YYYY format, with the day shown first, also known as UK format<\/em>. E.g. 31\/12\/2016) you may have to change the browser settings.<\/p>\n

The date format in P2 Explorer depends on the browser's language<\/em> setting. This article describes how to change the language setting in Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n
