How do I change the date format in Corfix?

This article will summarize how to adjust your web browser settings to display dates in your preferred format throughout the Corfix platform.

 

Important Notes on Formats

While the main Corfix pages will follow your browser settings, there are a few areas that stay the same:

  • PDF Forms: The top of PDF forms will always show as 30 March 2026. The signature section at the bottom will always show as Mon March 30th 2026.

  • Template Fields: Dates within form templates are set to a standard YYYY-MM-DD format.

  • Specialized Exports: If you use a specific export for accounting software (other than the Default Timekeeping Export), the date format is "locked in" to ensure your accounting software can read the data correctly.

Overview & Explanation

Corfix is designed to be flexible by matching the date format you see on your screen to your web browser's language settings. Instead of changing a setting inside Corfix, you simply update your browser (like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge) to your preferred region, and Corfix will automatically update your view.

How It Works (Step-by-Step)

Choose Your Preferred Format

The way dates appear depends on which version of English you choose in your browser settings:

Preferred Format Language Settings (Chrome/Edge) Example
Year-Month-Day English (Canada), French (Canada) 2026-03-30
Day/Month/Year English (United Kingdom), French (France), Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Mexico) 30/03/2026
Month/Day/Year English (United States), Spanish (United States) 03/30/2026

Use Cases and Benefits

  • Regional Accuracy: Ensure your team sees dates in the format they are most comfortable with based on their location.
