Starting from Manager version 2.9.0, it is possible to change the format of dates coming from Data Sources within Creative. Each RSS feed comes with a different date format, so our team developed a tool that allows dates to be standardized according to your needs.
To do this, you need to select the field where the date you want to format is located:
Notice that on the right side there is an option called “Format as date”. When selecting this option, the date is automatically changed to the system's default format, and you can choose other formats from the “Output Format” menu. For this example, we will use the DD/MM/YYYY format.
t is also possible to add a custom format if none of the available formats meet your needs.
In this example, we will display only the time in American format using the format “hh:mma”:
Important: If the system does not automatically identify the input date format, you will need to specify it using the “Custom Format” option and fill in the field with the correct format.
The list of all accepted formats can be found by clicking “Documentation” or below:
