Why change my organization's date and time formats?

Depending on your geographical location, you may be accustomed to using a particular date and time format. We've made it possible to change your date and time formats in SafetyCulture so your team can more easily understand when inspections were conducted, regardless of their location.

A user's date and time formats follow their organization's format settings by default. However, they can override this and select different formats just for their account.
