Region-Based Date Format Across the Application

User Experience
1

Hi Team,

I’m currently working on a Pega SIAA application where we have a large number of date properties, such as CreateDate, UpdateDate, CreditValueDate, DebitValueDate, and many others.

Our requirement is to display the date format based on the operator’s region:

  • Canada (CAN): MM/DD/YYYY
  • USA: MM/DD/YYYY
  • EMEA: DD/MM/YYYY

The application is currently in Sprint 9, and there is a significant amount of development already in progress. Since these date properties are used across many different views, updating each view individually would require a considerable amount of effort and could potentially impact existing development.

I would like to know if there is a centralized or configuration-based approach in Pega/SIAA to achieve region-based date formatting, preferably at the property, application, or presentation-layer level, without having to modify every individual view where the date properties are used.

Has anyone implemented a similar requirement in Pega SIAA/Constellation? If so, what would be the recommended approach or best practice?

Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

This should be set on the operator record, their Locale dictates this experience.

@Eranda_Weerasingha I’d like to move this to User Experience, to go with the other Constellation posts.

However, you are not a member, if you can join then that will allow me to move this (only members can reply to User Experience posts, so you would no longer be able to reply).

Let me know when you join and i’ll move this.
