Is there a way that I can enforce the REPORT LOCALE to not be empty OR is there a recommended way to set this on the server so as to remove the current need we have to EXPLICITLY set this on every report we create to NOT be en-US?
I suspect this is because the SSRS server (?) perhaps is setup NOT to have its region settings set properly, or else the SSRS needs this set explicitly and this hasn't been done.
The reason I ask is that 50%+ of our reports are FULL of explicit "Format/DateTimeFormat =>dd/mm/yyyy" stuff that causes issues for new developers ramping up and confusion for users occasionally and they often don't trust what they are looking at when they see a date like "4/5/2015" because they aren't sure which way around it is...
Thoughts and advice appreciated.
