Thread date display as
This setting decides how a ticket thread (reply, note, log) date is displayed. There are two options available, as given below.
- The Date Difference will display the date as the difference between the thread date and the current time. For example, 1 hour ago, 20 minutes ago, etc.
- The Date Format will display the date as per the given format in the below setting.
If you set Date Difference, you can also see the actual date as Date Format when you hover over the thread’s date and vice versa.
Thread date format
You can set the date format for the thread date as we discussed in the above setting.
For example, if you set “F d, Y h:i A”, the thread date will be displayed as “October 31, 2022 06:28 AM”.
