# Configuring the time and date widget (Welcome)

## How to customize the time and date display in the Welcome app

The Welcome app includes a configurable **time and date** widget that displays the current time and date on your intranet. This feature supports a range of customizations, including time format preferences, custom date formatting, and the ability to display multiple time zones.

This guide walks you through how to configure the time and date widget for your users.

### Accessing time and date settings

1. Edit the page and select the Welcome web part.
2. In the web part property pane, select the **Time and date** tab.
3. The **Time and date options** panel will expand, showing a live preview at the top.

---

### Time settings

The **Display time** control has three options:

1. **Browser default** - Displays the time using the regional time format set in the user's browser. This is the default.
2. **Custom** - Enables a **Time format** selector, letting you choose a consistent format for all users. Choose from **AM/PM** or **24-hour**.
3. **Off** - Hides the time entirely.

---

### Date settings

The **Display date** control also has three options:

1. **Browser default** - Displays the date using the regional date format set in the user's browser. This is the default.
2. **Custom** - Enables a **Date format** dropdown with several preset date formats to choose from. You can also select **Custom** from the dropdown to enter your own format using the tokens listed in the [Custom date format tokens](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/welcome-configuring-the-time-and-date-widget#date-settings-custom-date-tokens) section below.
3. **Off** - Hides the date entirely.

#### Custom date format tokens

When using the **Custom** date format option, you can build any date format using the tokens below.

**Note:** Only date tokens are supported. Time tokens (hours, minutes, seconds, AM/PM, etc.) are not applicable in this field.

| **Token** | **Output** | **Description** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `YY` | 26 | Two-digit year |
| `YYYY` | 2026 | Four-digit year |
| `M` | 1-12 | Month |
| `MM` | 01-12 | Month, two digits |
| `MMM` | Jan-Dec | Abbreviated month name |
| `MMMM` | January-December | Full month name |
| `D` | 1-31 | Day of the month |
| `DD` | 01-31 | Day of the month, two digits |
| `d` | 0-6 | Day of the week (0 = Sunday) |
| `dd` | Su-Sa | Minimal day name |
| `ddd` | Sun-Sat | Short day name |
| `dddd` | Sunday-Saturday | Full day name |

---

### Time zone settings

The **Time zones** section lets you display one or more time zones alongside the time and date.

1. Select **+ Add time zone**.
2. In the **Location** field, type a city or region name and select a match from the suggestions.
3. Optionally, select **Rename display name** and enter a custom label - for example, *Chicago Office* or *Headquarters*.
4. Select **Save** to confirm.

The time zone will appear in the Welcome web part alongside the time and date. You can add multiple time zones, which is useful for global organizations displaying times across regions.
