## Set the date format

The date format setting controls how dates appear throughout ION for all users in your org. Choose from a predefined format or enter a custom one.

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Organization > Date Time**.
2. In the **Date Format** field, either:
   
   - Type a custom format string (for example, `YYYY-MM-DD`).
   - Open the dropdown to select a predefined format.
3. Check the **Preview** section to confirm today’s date appears in the selected format.
