Not showing Current Date

Anonymous — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 06:51:21 GMT

Hi,

While opening the dashboard the date showing is current date in local. But when users login the date showing is previous dates like Jan 31st, Feb 2nd etc. not the current date.

Thanks,

Remya

Are the users selecting dates in the dashboard? The previous session state could be retaining the users' selections.

to display the current date you have used Today() function ??? if yes then ask the customers to close the link/document and reopen again that will resolve the issue .

Today() function show only the last document open date not the current date ...if you always wants the current date use Now() function and format it to date format

No they are not selecting the dates. I suggest them to remove last document state, then will show the current date but again after refresh it shows previous date.

it's better to use today(1) for current date. there are other arguments: 0(last reload date) and 2 (last app opening) but it's not stated in the documentation which one is default. For now it's 0 but it could change...

Date field is using in a multi box, while opening the dashboard current date should be shown but user can select different dates from the list.
