Date Formats & Testing

Things to consider when designing events:

Formatting Dates

  • Days of week can be abbreviated to 3 letters (Mon, Tue, Thu)
  • Months can be abbreviated to 3 letters (Jan, Jun, Jul, Sep)
  • Start and ends can have different formats if needed
    • ex: Monday, July 3rd - 07/07/2017
  • Other formatting for dates and times can be found here

Tribe Event Date Formatting Considerations:

  • Multi Day dates may spill over from one month to another.
    • ex: July 4th - 4th, 2017 vs. July 4th - August 4th, 2017
  • Multi Day dates may spill over from one year to another.
    • ex: Monday, Dec. 18th - Wednesday, Jan. 3rd, 2017

Testing Dates

  • Widest Day Name: Wednesday
  • Widest 3 Letter Abbr: Wed
  • Widest Month: September
  • Widest Abbreviated Month: May
  • Widest Numeric Month: 09
  • Widest Numeric Day: 09
