Note: You can set Strict Date Format in User Preferences. This preference enforces a deployment-wide standard date format and overrides all display formats defined in Siebel Tools. It applies to date information only. For example, a particular control is set to MM/DD/YY hh:mm where strict date format is set to DD/MM/YYYY. The date portion of that format is replaced by the strict date format and the resulting format is DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm.
