Error description

• This issue has been identified in a French environment, where
  the date format is DD/MM/YYYY
  
  The user profile and location were correct and the email
  notification date displayed in the abstract line of the email
  was also correct.
  
  But inside the embedded table with the records waiting on user
  approval, the dates were in the US format, MM/DD/YYYY
  
  That is particular confusing for days under the 12th, as they
  can be mistakenly taken as months.
  
  It was identified that when a notification has these tables,
  the HTML generated to be sent is not localizable.
  
  This issue was identified in triApproval001 but affects other
  notifications using embedded HTML tables.
  
  This happens for content inserted in the triApproval001
  notification form, as well for tables inserted in the workflow
  level and that are not listed in the "Embedded Content Report"
  

Local fix

• The workaround is to modify the notification so it behaves as
  the shipped out-of-box triApproval001 in English-US. This will
  send just one report per notification, but the text is not an
  embedded table so the date is sent on based on user profile.
  

Problem summary

• The context in which the associated data needed to be set to
  the user's and not the systems.
  

Problem conclusion

• Reports or queries with date and date-time fields generated in
  any outgoing mail from the Tririga application will now be
  formatted based on date and date-time format settings in "My
  Profile"  This fix is targeted for the 2H2015 release.
