Date formats

Cameron Perrin

I've noticed that dates are sometimes formatted day/month/year but other times are month/day/year. I would be more useful for that to be consistent (as an American I'd prefer month/day/year but either is fine)

This is a great suggestion! I would love for an option to flip the recorded dates to a US version (month/day/year). Sometimes we have delays between tasks, and we would like to calculate the exact delay between the participant starting Session 1 and clicking the link to finish in Session 2. If the date format was in month/day/year and we did not have to use a tricky excel formula to swap it, that would be fantastic!

Hi Cameron! Could you give me a little more detail as to what dates you are referring to? Are these dates in a participants metrics? And/or dates within the Gorilla UI? If you could give me a couple of specific examples then I can take a look through them!

Will Webster: Yeah, sorry for the vague question! I meant when I download participant data, it gives the date they took the experiment as columns in the spreadsheet (in UTC time and another in local time). Did that make more sense?

Will Webster: I don't have an example of when the date had a difference in format (it might have been different between downloads, I'm not sure), but here is the part of the spreadsheet I'm talking about
