WaspTime Web: Timecard date format does not appear as desired

Authors list

Symptoms

  1. In WaspTime Web, on the View Timecard page, the dates are formatted as yyyy-MM, and can't be distinguished. For example, in February 2015, all the dates show as 2015-02.

  2. In the upper right corner, the usual current date/time shows "Invalid Date Invalid Date".

Cause

This date format is controlled by a setting in IIS, not WaspTime Web.

Resolution

Adjust the Culture in .NET Globalization for the website in IIS Manager.

  1. Launch Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager: Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  2. Expand servername, Sites.

  3. Click WaspTime Web.

  4. In the middle WaspTime Web Home pane, double-click .NET Globalization.

  5. In the Culture section, on the Culture line, the default value is Invariant Language (Invariant Country), whose Short Date Format is M/d/yyyy. If this has been changed to something else, IIS will use the default date for that culture.

  6. Change this value back to default, or to another Culture whose Short Date Format displays as desired.

  7. At the right side in the Actions pane, click Apply. The change takes effect immediately. A currently logged-in WaspTime Web user will be forced to log in again when switching pages or refreshing.
