How to Set Your Internal Time Format

In Cal ID, the Time format setting controls how hours display in your dashboard — a standard 12-hour clock or 24-hour (military) time.


Good to know


  • Internal only: it changes your own views — Bookings, Availability, and Dashboard.
  • Not your public page: guests always see times in their own browser's local format, to avoid confusion.
  • Display only: it never shifts your actual meeting times or availability.


Change your time format


  1. Click Settings in the left sidebar.
  2. Open the General sub-tab.
  3. Find the Time format dropdown.
  4. Choose 12 hour (e.g., 2:15 PM) or 24 hour (e.g., 14:15).
  5. Click Update to apply.



Which to choose


  • 12-hour (AM/PM): best if you like a clear morning/afternoon distinction.
  • 24-hour: best across global timezones, removing any AM/PM ambiguity.


What changes in your dashboard


  • Bookings: start and end times switch to your chosen format (e.g., 2:15 PM → 14:15).



  • Availability: your working hours and slots appear in the format you picked.
