Expected date format in search fields

rbuser

Hi,

We are using version 17.03. We install the report server and by
default it using the Local System account
We are trying to figure out how to influence the date format that is
used in search values and by default in the reports (if we do not
specify another date format)

1- In our previous installation (version 15.02) we could replace the
user account that the service was using and the regional date settings
of this account was used. This was convenient for our clients

2- We tried to do the same for version 17.03 but is seems that the
date format settings of this user are not used.

My questions are
1- Which account is used to obtain the date format settings that are
using in the search parameters and the report
2- Is it possible to change these settings in any way

Hi,

I just fiddled around with changing the user account that runs the
Report Server and changing the regional settings for different system
users.

I can change the display format for date values that are displayed in
the search value box when I open a report from a browser by changing
the regional settings for the local system account.
However the expected date input format always seems to be
month-day-year. Not sure where and how I can change this.

Hi Paul,

The WebTier app generates the html/javascript previewer. The Delphi
FormatSettings specify the date format. These are initialized to the Window
Regional Settings for the user account.

A couple of options:

1. Configure the Windows Regional Settings for the user account that hosts
the WebTier app.

or

2. Add code to the WebTier app to modify the Delphi FormatSettings at
startup.







Best regards,
