Date Fields
Each Deltanji user is set up to use either US format (mm/dd/yyyy) or UK format (dd/mm/yyyy) dates.
Whatever format the used to enter a date, it will be reformatted and displayed in the standard format of DD-MMM-YY.
When a 2 digit year is entered (i.e. the century is not specified), Deltanji defaults the century using the 2 digit year pivot point. This value can be set on screen 6 of the Properties option in Deltanji Set-up.
Valid entries for US format dates include the following:
T | Today |
+5 | Today plus 5 days (i.e. 5 days in the future) |
-5 | Today minus 5 days (i.e. 5 days ago) |
