The problem:  you run one of the report templates and dates come out in the wrong format.  For example, you are using a PC set up with UK regional settings and the dates come out in US format.

The reason for this is that the component that writes the report content sits on the server, so reports are created with the format that is specified there.  This is global - the same setting controls the format for all users.

The setting that controls the format is in IIS, and is called .NET Globalization.  Changing this will cause the report format to change.

To change the setting:

• Go to IIS Manager
• Click on the Web site where Pentana is hosted (the change can also be applied at the server level)
• Double click on .NET Globalization
• In the Culture dropdown, select the country whose date format you want to apply (for example, English (United Kingdom) (en-GB)
• Click Apply
