## Set the date format

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Organization > Date Time**.
2. In the **Date Format** field, either:
   * Type a custom format string (for example, `YYYY-MM-DD`).
   * Open the dropdown to select a predefined format.
3. Check the **Preview** section to confirm today's date appears in the selected format.
