Define date and number formats

The machine on which you create your Bots might use a different date or number format than your application. In this case, you need to ensure that

• the Bot understands the application's format, for instance when you try to verify information

• the Bot uses the right format to write data to the application, for instance when you want to fill out a form

To do so, define a format in one of the ways described below.

Define a format in the settings

If you change the format in the settings, it applies to all folders and Bots in your workspace.

Format date and time

To change the date and time format, change the Target settings at Project > Settings > TBox > Dynamic Temporal Expressions.

Alternatively, you can use calculated or combined date and time Expressions. These specify the format only for a particular Step.

Format numbers

To change the number format, change the Target settings at Project > Settings > TBox > Number Formats

Define a format via configuration parameters

The format you define in configuration parameters only applies to the folders or Bots for which you create them. Configuration parameters override the settings for this particular object.

Create a configuration parameter that has the same name as the respective setting, but without spaces.

For instance:

To define a different date format for your Bot, either adapt the setting Target Date Format or create a configuration parameter called TargetDateFormat.
