How do I change the time in the activity stream to date/time instead of x minutes/hours/days ago?

[Brad Evans]

At the moment when I run an Activity Stream report/dashboard it displays the activity times relative to the current date/time (x minutes/hours/days ago), how do I get it to display the date/time of the actual activity?

Hi @Brad Evans 

Welcome to the community

You are correct Activity stream gadget does not showcase the actual date and time on the UI. This is the default behavior of gadget. you cannot change it.

To get the actual date and time you need to hover the activity time (x minutes/hours/days ago) then you can able to see actual date and time.

Please see the attached screenshot

Thanks Sachin Dhamale.

Is there a report I could run that lists the same as the dashboard but with the dates/times?

@Brad Evans - You can use filter gadget where you can display the filter issue in table format and there you can add the created and updated field

Excellent, works a treat.

If you don't specifically put that filter in it shows the date in the relative format (x hours ago), if you put that filter in with no defined filter limits it shows it in actual date/time format.

Thanks Sachin.

Well, it does work (randomly), if you change something in the Filter it 'sometimes' displays the date of the activity (not relative), then if you refresh the page, it reverts to relative times, very frustrating. Hovering over the relative date/time field (while it works) is very time-consuming, is there any way to generate a simple report?
