My Personalizations - Date and Time formatting, Calendar formatting

You may need to add change personalizations locality wise. This can be done two ways instead of using any scripts.

The 1st Way:

The user goes to their My Personalizations page in Main Menu does the required changes like;

1. Afternoon designator (PM, pm)
2. Auto-recognize Gregorian dates
3. Calendar
4. Date Format
5. Local Time Zone
6. Morning designator (AM, am)
7. Time Format
8. Use Local Timezone
9. First day of week

These options can be changed here by the user him/herself.

The 2nd Way:

Already Locale defaults are added in the delivered setup found in the navigation: Main Menu > PeopleTools > Personalization > Locale Defaults

And this to take effect to the users UI they need to change their language preferences in IE, Tools > Internet Options.

The 3rd Way:

But how many users would actually go ahead and do these changes by themselves. A simple script could help us with these changes without the users breaking a sweat.

insert into PSUSERPRSNLOPTN (OPRID,OPTN_CATEGORY_LVL,USEROPTN,USER_OPTION_CNTL,USER_OPTION_VALUE) values ('EMPOYEEOPRID','PPTL','WEEKFIRSTDAY','y','1');

This script changes the first day of the week to Monday, Sunday being the default.

Main Menu > PeopleTools > Personalization > Personalizations Options ==> the User Options and the default format values can be found here. Use PSXLATITEM for the format values.
