How to change the date format in the GenomeStudio Final Report in the Processing Date Field

GenomeStudio users might be interested in changing the date format in the Final Report but are unable to find any option in GenomeStudio. This is because the GenomeStudio software does not provide any option to change time/date settings.

The date and time settings displayed in the Final Report are based on OS settings. Some users might change the date and time settings but still experience that the changes made to the OS settings are not displayed in the final report. This is because the GenomeStudio software operates in English (US), therefore, the Region and language settings would have to be set to English (US) on the computer as well.
