Time and date display settings

You can customize how time and date appear using the available settings:

  • Time format
    Choose between:

    • 12-hour (e.g. 3:45 PM)

    • 24-hour (e.g. 15:45)

  • Date format
    Select from common regional formats, such as:

    • MMM DD, YYYY
    • MM/DD/YYYY
    • DD/MM/YYYY
    • YYYY/MM/DD

    • Day of the week
      Optionally display the current day (e.g. Monday) alongside the time/date.

    These options allow you to match the widget’s appearance to your organization’s regional or stylistic preferences.

    Timezone configuration

    The widget offers flexible timezone handling:

    • Automatic (user-based)
      Detects the user's browser timezone and displays the corresponding time.

    • Manual (selected timezone)
      Set a specific timezone based on the searched location - you can also Change location display name and enter any desired name.

    Manual timezones are helpful for global organizations wishing to reflect a headquarters or target region’s time regardless of user location.
