  • 1.  Customization of Date Format in IBM Mobile App

    Posted 04-30-2025 11:07

    Hello Maximo Open Forum,

    I have a question regarding the IBM Mobile customization for reading date formats. When starting and stopping a timer, the Labor Approval screen is displayed, showing both the date/time and duration. On our tablets, the native app currently displays the time with AM/PM at the bottom of the time field. We would like to modify it so that the AM/PM is displayed on the same line as the time, horizontally. 

    Could you please guide me to where in the code the date/time format is controlled?

    Note, even when we turn the tablet in landscape, AM/PM is displayed under the time.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    I have been trying to recreate the issue, but I have been struggling. I have tried to mimic different resolutions in developer tools and resizing the windows, but it seems that any time I cross the threshold it puts it into the small width which causes it to expand to 100% of the space and prevents the issue. I'm pasting what it is out of the box in case the sizing has changed in your environment.

    the large-width is likely the column size when you are in landscape. In the example below the column is 50%. If you don't have it as 50 & 50 I would change it to that. But if you do, you could try to change it to 60 & 40 for example and see if that makes a difference.
