When you work with customers all around the world, you might want to adapt the date format of your documents to fit theirs. It’s possible to set a different date format per company entity in Teamleader Focus, allowing you to optimise the outgoing communications towards your customers. Find out how to set a specific date format in this article.
How
To change the date format of your company entity, follow these steps:
Go to Settings > Company information > pencil next to the company entity you want to edit
Click on Company details
Choose your date format in the field Date format
The options are:
dd/mm/yyyy
mm/dd/yyyy
dd-mm-yyyy
dd.mm.yyyy
What
The date format you set for your company entity is applied to:
Quotations
Time Tracking Reports
Order Confirmations
Work orders
Delivery notes
Orders

“Date” Custom Field
Notes:
It’s not possible to set a date format for a specific document as a date format is assigned to a specific company entity and is always applied to all documents of that entity.
Don’t forget to add the date as a shortcode on your documents if you want the date to appear. Read more about customizing your templates here.
