Step 2: How do I Change how the Time & Date Displays in Pet Sitter Plus?

Scenario: Tammy's software is pre-configured to show am and pm times, but she prefers to confirm service times using the 24-hour clock (Military time). She also prefers to display the year as just "22" rather than "2022."

3. Choose "24-hour format" from the dropdown by "Time Format" to change your time settings to the 24-hour clock (Military Time), so "1.00pm" now displays as "13:00."

4. Choose "mm/dd/yy" from the dropdown by "Date Format" to change your date settings so "07/04/2022" now displays as "07/04/22" then click "Update."
