  • Options to show deactivated values in filters
  •  Warnings for unsaved changes, helping you avoid accidental data loss

Open the Preferences menu by clicking on your username in the top right corner of the screen. This will open your profile menu. Click on ‘Preferences’ and then navigate to the ‘Advanced’ tab.

Date Time Preferences

Here you can also add specific formats for date and date time fields. These formats will be used across the entire system unless a given field has its own formatting.

Date and Date Time Format

If you hover over the ‘information’ icon you’ll be provided with a link that covers date and time formats in more detail.
