Report time stamps and graphs wrong format and other reporting issues

Hi,

Greeting for the day.

Thanks for the feedback. I will send the PM for more details.

Hi Ian,

Do you have a screenshot to hand? All my reports are in ISO YYYY-MM-DD currently.

Hi Emile,

On checking today's reports in v17.5 they have the correct time on them, whereas yesterday's report under v17.1.3 do not. My dates in the reports are as per ISO standard, but that is not what people expect when they have country configuration. From my UTM experience the date format changed as per locality.

Ian

Hi Rana,

just to clarify what I posted. I said the dates are in the wrong format, I did not say they were wrong.

Most of the my reporting issues appear to have been fixed in this version, which is good to see.

Ian

Hi,

Can you please post the format you see?  Also please post the desired/expected format as well to help the team contrast the two.   Thank you!

Hi Rob,

The format I see is yyyy-mm-dd, the format I expect to see is dd-mm-yyyy.

The example below is from my Mac Book Pro.

Hi Ian,

YYYY-MM-DD is ISO 8601 standard and is a universal standard that leaves no ambiguity as to the numerical ordering. I would disagree that changing the date format to localised datestamps would have  any benefit.

Why would you prefer DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY (satans datestamp) over ISO 8601?

Emile

Very simply because the Australian standard is dd/mm/yyyy and forget that other datestamp, that just isn't logical.

Apple and MS disagree with you, but that is the nature of the world.

Ian

Hi Emile,

further the Sophos forum allows you to choose the date format to use in your posts, so why not the Sophos XG?

Ian

Hello

I will agree with Ian, report dates should always be in the as per the region. This helps while working with reports in excel format else excel will not be able to handle date in the correct format.
