Why do my date labels show hours?

Anonymous User — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 16:17:22 GMT

In Web App Builder, I have a trend line chart where the x axis is a date field formatted 5/3/2012. There are no hours in these values, but on the x axis, hours are shown.

How do I tell the chart widget to stop doing this?

Thank you,

Randy McGregor

A date field as formatted will always include the date and time.

Go to your web map

Go to the feature that has the date field.

Select Configure Pop Ups

Choose the Configure Attributes option

Navigate to your date field and select it.

You will see options for the Date field. Uncheck Show Time

I appreciate it very much, but the graph tool in web app builder is not respecting this alteration, still showing time. The popup window is showing correctly.

Thanks,

Randy

Did you save your web map before setting up the graph in web app builder? I just did it with a feature of mine that has a date field and it worked as expected.

I appreciate your help, but I appear to have a glitch in my system that I'll need to work out. I see exactly the same thing no matter how much I change the configuration.

12/21/2012 6:00 pm, etc.

Also, when I turn off commas for long numbers that I want to use as dates - i.e., 20171221, it shows commas in the chart.

Either our system has a bug, or I am missing something, but either way you have been helpful and I appreciate your time.

Thanks
