| You can enter dates into Personal Knowbase in several places, including Article Windows and dialog boxes. Dates can also come from imported files. Following are the rules used to interpret dates:
|
|
|
| Date Format: Personal Knowbase uses the Windows date format which you have chosen. Use the Windows Control Panel to change your date format. See Displaying Years with 4 Digits for one example of how to change the format.
|
|
|
| Default Year: If you enter a date without a year, the current year is used. For example, if you enter a date using MM/DD notation, the software automatically adds the current year.
|
|
|
| Century Assumption: If you enter a year as 2 digits, the century is determined by the setting from the Articles tab of the Preferences Dialog Box (File Menu). By default, all 2-digit years are treated as if they are dates from 2000 to 2099. This setting can change that range.
|
|
|
| Note that if you display only 2-digit years, it isn't always clear what century a displayed year belongs to. To avoid ambiguity, we recommend that you enter all years as 4 digits and that you display 4-digit years using the Windows Control Panel. See Displaying Years with 4 Digits.
