Personal Date Format

You can change your date range within Aphex to these two types :

Type	Format	Used by
ISO 8601	DD/MM/YYYY	UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand

Row Height Preference

You can change the scale and spacing of Tasks on the Gantt.

There are three options:

Comfy	Large row height and text - fewer tasks and more space
Default	The default row height
Compact	Smaller row height and text - fits more work on the page

Your selected Gantt scale will apply to all Projects that you view in planner, it does not change the Gantt scale for other users on the Project.
