Changing the date format in report RTF templates.
Posted by on 20 January 2012 10:40 AM

It is possible to set a custom date format in saved documents by using the \fdtm()\ function and a pattern variable in the following way: \fdtm(DateTime Variable, Pattern Variable)\

For example, if you have a DateTime variable \DEADLINE\ which is January 20, 2012, 10:30 AM, and you would like to display it as “Deadline is on Friday, January 20, 2012, at 10:30” in a generated document, please use the following code:

\fdtm(DEADLINE, '"Deadline is on" dddd. MMMM d. yyyy "at" hh:mm')\

It is important to define the content of the pattern variable between ' ' quotes. If you would like to put some text like "Deadline is on", please use " " quotes.

how can I change 27.07.2012 to 27.07.12? I currently have this code in my template: \dtLinkJobs:CJOB_COMPLETED\
In Windows-Region the short date setting is dd.MM.yy

Dear Vincent Garcia,

Thank you for your question.

To display data in the dd.MM.yy format, please use the following code in your invoice RTF template:
\fdtm(dtLinkJobs:CJOB_COMPLETED, 'dd.MM.yy')\

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Maksim.
