General Information - Enable Custom Date Input

For users of Editor level or above, when coding a document, in addition to selecting the date from the Calendar Date Picker, you can choose to type in dates in the format preferred by you. The system interprets the date entered and saves it based on your geolocation.

To be able to manually type in dates, you will need to enable the manual entry of custom dates from this section of the My Profile area. Refer to the screenshot below:

1. Tick the checkbox Enable custom date input.
2. Enter the date format preferred by you. Some of the most common date formats are MM/DD/YY, DD/MM/YY, MM/DD/YYYY, and DD-MMM-YY.
3. Once done, Save the changes. You will now be able to enter dates manually if you so choose.
