Showing the Date and Time of the Report

You can show various dates and times when the report is run.

  1. Select Insert > Date/Time > Print Date, Insert > Date/Time > Creation Date, Insert > Date/Time > Modification Date.
  2. Drag the cursor to the position required for the date/time on the Report Layout window.
  3. Specify this information:
    Format
    Select the format for the date. Options are:
    • Short: for example, 22/04/2014
    • Medium: for example, 22 APR 2014
    • Long: for example, Tuesday, 22 April 2014
    Include time
    Check this check box to include the time on the report.
    Note:  SunSystems uses the date from the server on which the SunSystems Security service is running, as the default date when the user logs in. SunSystems Reporting Services uses the date from the Report server for the Print Date that can be printed on reports. Therefore, it is recommended that the time zones on these servers are set to that of the SunSystems users. If this is not possible, or if there are users in different time zones, then the Set Operating System Date for the users in time zones that are different to the Security server should not be set to Automatic. If the user's time zone is significantly different to that of the Security server's such that when they log in, the default date is not their current date, then this should be set to Force Entry, so that it is not possible for the incorrect default date to be used.
