I would like to be able to set an app setting of a Monday week start day and have this cascade throughout the app - date pickers, filters ("current week") and views (Calendars).

Scenario: Standard UK business reporting runs Monday-Sunday and this makes reports in Knack for "is during the current" week difficult as we have to create multiple filters to achieve the same result since the Knack "week" is Sunday-Saturday.

This has now been actioned on the calendar - thank you Knack :)

however, the filters still use SUNDAY start for 'Week' filters ...

Although there is the option to select monday/sunday to start the week in Calendar view, it is not possible for the calendar popup. (David code: $.datepicker.setDefaults({ firstDay: 1 }); )

The day start of the week should be a selection in the App Settings:

Yes and the filters STILL use start of the week as SUNDAY - which it NEVER is in the UK …

And in this thread they are commenting that the date picker popup does not translate to the language selected in the **App Settings.**

> When you select a date, in all calendar popups the week starts with Sunday, and you would have to allow the week to start on Monday. I don't know if this system is common in the USA, but in Europe the weeks start on Monday. :)! Please support me because when we quickly mark a date we sometimes make mistakes for this reason. I've seen that since 2015 other people have asked for it but it still hasn't changed.

It would be nice to make the pop-up calendar view customisable by choosing the start day of the week (Sunday/Monday).

+1 for this! I can't believe this isn't a feature considering such option exists for calendar page.

IMHO date format and week starting day should be a global localisation setting under App Settings. I don't see a situation where someone would have the need for having different date formats within a single app..

&nbsp;This is available under the [Calendar view settings](https://learn.knack.com/article/7hyhd2qtgv-calendars#calendar_settings_2), the "Week Start" option, which allows you to select if you want the week on your calendar to start on Sunday or Monday.

And Mikus Upmalis - it looks like what you're suggesting might be along the lines of this post "[Configuration type of Object & App Settings](https://forums.knack.com/t/configuration-type-of-object-and-app-settings/6046)". Feel free to add your vote there.

When we select a cell with a "date" field, it still shows the calendar weeks starting on Sunday... :..(

&nbsp;

Is there any way to fix it?

Yeah - it would be nice to change this global as it affects the filters.

Ex - I would like to filter a list using past week, this week, etc… but I need the start of the week to be Monday not Sunday. My sums and information in inaccurate otherwise.
