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:

  1. Go to Settings > Company information > pencil next to the company entity you want to edit 

  2. Click on Company details

  3. 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

  • Invoices

  • Credit notes

  • “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.
