3081768 - Date format in intelligent services notifications

Symptom

An intelligent service notification is triggered to a manager. The date format in the notification is different from what is used in the manager's locale.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central: Intelligent Services

Reproducing the Issue

  1. A time off notification intelligent services notification is triggered when an employee (locale English US) applies for leave with date format MM/DD/YYYY
  2. The manager viewing it has the locale English UK, but the notification still appears in MM/DD/YYYY format, even though the date format for English UK is DD/MM/YYYY

Cause

Intelligent services notifications would appear in the viewing employee's language but the date format within the message would be of the employee who initiated the request. 

Resolution

This is currently the standard behavior. The date format in intelligent services notifications is as per the locale of the initiator and not the receiver of the notification.
