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.

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