Envizi - display of the date should be possible in different formats

In Finland we have used to date being displayed as follows:

DD/MM/YYYY → 30/12/2025 > Day, Month, Year

Envizi displays the date in a different form (see attachement also), it is like this:
MM/DD/YYYY → 12/30/2025 > Month, Day, Year.

Our customer would like the display of dates to follow this format: "DD/MM/YYYY → 30/12/2025 > Day, Month, Year"

Could you develop the user interface so that the date display format could be changed according to user preferencies? In Europe it is very normal to prefer the date in a day-month-year format and that option should be added.

    Hey Katariina, 

    Hope you are keeping well since we met at the Envizi User Group in the UK.

    I believe this is managed by the language settings of the user. For example, I have attached two screenshots, one with English UK settings and one with English US settings - you can see the relevant format changes in dates from the US format to the UK/Finland format of DD-MM-YYYY.

    This is also described within the Envizi documentation - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/envizi-esg-suite?topic=configuring-personal-settings - The documentation also describes how you can change your language settings to English - UK, which will hopefully resolve your Data Format question. This can be done by selecting your profile in the top right of the Envizi screen > Selecting 'Personal' > Editing your language.

    Hope this helps!

    Finland is not only country, where DMY is the practiced format. Ability to change date format in SaaS UI is status quo. Could you please prioritize this simply feature dev.
