Default date format
For any template variables including dates, the formatting of the date will default to the date format chosen for the project. This can be changed under the "Main" tab of the Project Configuration page. Expand the "Project Profile" section and update the date format to the desired value.
Date formatting can be set on project configuration templates from the "Project Profile" section of the "Main" tab to reduce the need for changes on future projects.
Template-specific date format
If the date format a customer requires on a template is not the same as the date format used on the project, and the user does not wish to change the project's date format, they can also apply specific date formatting to individual variables within a template.
The date_format parameter can be added to any variables including dates to customize their output.
To add this parameter, add "|date_format=XXX" to the variable, where XXX is the format string.
See the table below for available codes to use for building the format string. Use delimiters between codes to create the exact format string required. (For example, "|date_format=dd mmm, yyyy" would output as "03 Jun, 2016".)
