How do I change the date/time formats in Quality Window?

Quality Window stores dates in the YYYY-MM-DD format and Time Format as HH:MM:SS (24hr format) exclusively but sometimes users want to be able to see the date on the logsheet in a differently. To change how these formats are changed do the following:

  1. Open QW Workstation
  2. Select Tools ➡️ Settings
  3. You will find both Time and Date format options in the general sections.
  4. Select the formats that best suit your teams needs.
  5. This setting is workstation specific and will require this setting to be changed on all QW Workstation instalations.
