To change your date preference as an employee in Oracle Cloud (for example, changing the format of how dates are displayed in your personal profile, timesheets, or other areas), you can follow these steps:
Steps to Change Date Preferences as an Employee:
1. Log in to Oracle Cloud
- Log in to Oracle Cloud using your employee credentials.
2. Access Your Preferences
- Once logged in, click on your profile picture or user icon in the top-right corner of the Oracle Cloud interface.
- From the drop-down menu, select “Preferences”.
3. Navigate to Regional Preferences
- In the Preferences section, you will see options related to how certain information is displayed, including date and time formats.
- Click on “Regional” or “Language and Region” (the exact name might vary depending on your Oracle Cloud version).
4. Change the Date Format
- Under Regional Preferences, locate the Date Format option.
- Select your preferred date format from the available options (e.g.,
MM/DD/YYYY,DD/MM/YYYY, etc.).
5. Save Your Changes
- After selecting your preferred date format, click Save or Apply to make the changes effective.
6. Verify the Change
- After saving, navigate to a part of the system where dates are displayed (such as your timesheet or personal profile) to confirm that the date format now reflects your preferences.
Additional Options:
- Language Settings: You can also change the language and time zone settings in the same Regional Preferences section if required.
- Reset to Default: If you wish to revert back to the default settings, you can return to the Preferences page and reset any changes.
This change will affect how dates are displayed throughout the system for your user profile, making it easier for you to work with dates in a familiar format.
