Mobility date formats

Mobility fields that display dates now use the MobDateUI field control to support date format localization.

Each date field in mobility uses one of these date formats:

  • MOB_SHORT_DATE

    The default date format is EEEMMMd, yyyy. For example, Wed Mar 3, 2020. Most dates in mobility use this format by default.

  • MOB_SHORT_DATE_TIME

    The default date format is EEE MMM d, yyyy hh:mmaa. For example, Wed Mar 3, 2020 3:34 am.

  • MOB_MONTH_YEAR_DATE

    The default date format is MMMMM yyyy. For example, March 2020.

When configuring a date field in mobility, you are not limited to these date formats. You can use any date format defined in the system. Or you can specify a specific date format in the format parameter such as MMMMM d, yyyy.

For a list of date fields that you can configure, see "Field-level Security" in the Infor Workforce Management Mobility Administration Guide. For each date field, the default date format is indicated.

For date displays that are not associated with a field, you cannot change the date format that is used. Most of these dates use the MOB_SHORT_DATE date format by default.

To change the date format of non-fields, you must update the definition of the date format using the Date Formats page (Maintenance > System Administration > Date Formats). For example, you can change the format of MOB_SHORT_DATE for the Japanese locale.
