Symptom
Can we change the date format showing on the "Parameter" window for "Start of active range..." and "End of active date range.." fields when clicking on "Generate" for online AdHoc Reports?

Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Reporting tab;
- Open some online report with date columns;
- Click on generate;
- While opening the report a small window called "Parameter" will be shown with date format mm/dd/yyyy.
Resolution
The format date (MM/DD/YYYY) showing in "Parameter" windows after building an online report and clicking on "Generate" is hardcoded and cannot be changed.
Happily, that might not be the final answer to your requests. As you may be aware, SAP provides a channel where you can propose, discuss, and vote on ideas to improve the product. Since we need around 20 votes for an idea to be considered, you could raise an Enhancement Request for your idea/suggestion (KBA 2090228) and then create a topic on Customer Community to give visibility to this Request (KBA 2893370).
