Configuring dynamic dates
Dynamic date is configured through using the Template Designer. For more on the Template Designer, please refer to this article.
Pre-requisites
Before dynamic dates can be configured, there are some mandatory requirements that must be in place. Date insertion is dependant on two inputs:
1. Language.
2. Date format.
3. Form Configuration.
Language and Date format need to be specified in data sources, which are used by the Template Designer as a reference.
Date formats data source
Below is an example of the data source used for date formats. It can be downloaded as an Excel file below.
Language column: IANA code.
Type column: friendly name for the date format.
Format column: the date format specified using the .Net framework.
Language data source
IANA column: IANA language code is used as internal reference by Templafy.
Language column: contains values shown to end-users in the drop-down menu.
Form Configuration
To allow for date formatting Templafy needs to have a form field on the User Profile called, "DocumentLanguage". This form field when added should be a dropdown that references the Languages data source and it should be a "required" field.
