Week Start and End

[Aaron90]

Hi,

I discovered that my instance uses the (default) week starting day of Monday. I am working to change that to Sunday.

Here is the wiki article, under the header Creating Calendars; my questions:

Why is the default Monday through Sunday?

Is there any negative effect (other than invalidating existing filter conditions using the week structure)?

2.2.1 Changing Week Start

By default, the start of the week is Monday, meaning that the calendar week begins with Monday and ends with Sunday. To change this behavior, add the property glide.ui.date_format.first_day_of_week to the instance as an integer property. Set the value to the integer corresponding with the day of the week that the calendar will begin on, where 1 is Sunday, 2 is Monday, and so on.

By checking other threads here - thanks to "Capa JC" - it looks like this may be the solution for filtering, to be used in combination with the Calendar property.

"Try setting glide.ui.filter.first_day_of_week as well (might need to create it). Different properties control different things, since they were introduced at different times and a default behavior change couldn't affect existing customers."

I will check with our admin guys and report back here if it works.

This really helped me a lot.

glide.ui.filter.first_day_of_week -- This fixed the issue for us as well regarding Reporting on 'Last Week' and 'This Week' - Created new Prop and set Value to 1 to start week on Sunday
