How Do I Change the Date Format on Certificate Designs?

If you would like to change the format of the dates that appear on your certificate designs, here is how you can achieve that.

When creating credentials it is important to ensure you are uploading dates in one of the following formats:

• DD/MM/YYYY
• MM/DD/YYYY
• YYYY/MM/DD

However, while dates must be uploaded in one of the three formats above, they do not have to be displayed on the credential in this way. 

Change the Date Format

1. Open the certificate design you would like to change the date format for.
2. Click on the date attribute you would like to change.
3. In the certificate design toolbar, the option 'Custom date format' will appear.
4. Click on 'Custom date format,' then select the format you would like to use from the drop-down menu.
5. Remember to click 'Save and Close' on your design to apply any changes you've made.
