Time format

release · 42.65.0 ·

Virtool shows times relative to now. A time such as 3 years ago can be any day in a 12-month range. This makes it difficult to find a sample from a certain date.

You can now show times as a date and time instead:

When Relative Date and time
Today 2 hours ago Today at 11:12
This year 6 weeks ago Sep 26 at 14:03
Earlier year 3 years ago Sep 26, 2023

Hover over a time or click it to see the exact date and time, or how long ago it was.

Reference created “3 years ago” and the exact time “2023-08-14 09:31” shown on hover

The setting applies only to your account, and Relative stays the default. Learn more in the account guide.
