Troubleshooting

Change in time format is not reflected on TrueOps

Problem: Time format update at the iOS device level is not reflected on TrueOps app.

Solution: After updating the time format, log out and log into the TrueOps app for the change to take effect. For example, when you change the time format from 12 to 24 hours format and so on.

Note

The time format for the Events list page comes pre-configured and is not user-configurable. Therefore, the time format change is not applicable to this page. See the illustrations for details.
