# Date and Time Format

You can control how time and date show up on the storefront calendar (and in Sesami’s default emails).

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Where to change it

Go to: **Sesami → Settings → Storefront Settings → Time format & Date format**

Click **Save** when you’re done.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Time format

Choose one:

* **12-hour** (am/pm)
* **24-hour** (e.g., 08:00, 14:00, 23:00)

## Date format (tokens)

You can configure the date format using these tokens:

* `dd` = day (e.g., 02, 19, 30)
* `MM` = month number (e.g., 01, 12, 07)
* `NN` = month name (e.g., February, June, October)
* `yyyy` = year (e.g., 2024)
* `hh` = hour (e.g., 06:00)
* `mm` = minute (e.g., 00:10)

{% hint style="info" %}

* **Time format** shows on the storefront calendar and in Sesami default notification emails.
* **Date format** shows in Sesami default notification emails.
* If you use **Sesami Flows**, your formatting is handled differently (see dev docs for formatting rules).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sesami.co/booking/availability/date-and-time-format.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
