Bulk update Date Formats in User Personal Settings

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

Is there a way to bulk update  Date Formats for multiple users? Our global setting is set to the correct format but the format the user level setting is not correct. I believe that the "User" level  setting inherits from the global setting when the users are being added. In our environment the users were added first and the global date format was changed retrospectively.

I have tried looking at the XrmToolBox, but its User Settings Utility does not give an option to set the "formats".  Please let me know if there is an out of the box way to change date format for multiple users.

Thanks,

Nishant

    Hi

    If you want to do it through code,

    Get all the records of UserSettings entity

    and update the attribute values, accordingly

               userSettingsEntity.Attributes["homepagearea"] = "Sales"

               userSettingsEntity.Attributes["currencysymbol"] = "£"

               userSettingsEntity.Attributes["localeid"] = 2057

               userSettingsEntity.Attributes["homepagesubarea"] = "nav_dashboards"

               userSettingsEntity.Attributes["dateformatstring"] = "dd/MM/yyyy"

               userSettingsEntity.Attributes["timeformatstring"] = "HH:mm"

               userSettingsEntity.Attributes["timezonecode"] = 85
