Customising the Date Format

You can customise how dates are displayed by going into EventWork's settings.

Click on the cog at the top right of the page then click General Settings.



Click Dates in the menu on the left hand side, this will display all your options for customising dates and time.

Choose from the list of letters at the bottom of this page and enter them into the input.

If you want to display a letter and not have it change to something in the list, you will need to escape every letter you do not want changing with \ .
