Is there an intuitive way to display weeks as text?
I am working on an application where a set of data is displayed, based on a specific week. The user selects this week from a drop down box, and one of my objectives is to format the way these week options display in this drop down box. The dropdown is a set requirement; I am only formatting the way the weeks display in that list.
I have done some HCI research, in the past; and I feel confident that the weeks should be displayed in the form of "<start> to <finish>". For example, the current placeholder displays as "2017-07-06", and I would change it to "2017-07-06 to 2017-07-13". Weeks will always start on Sunday, but so far, that appears irrelevant. I am unsure if this is the best way, or more specifically, if there is an effective solution to intuitively displaying weeks as text. I have found some valid information for days, but nothing for displaying entire weeks.
I am designing for a users purely in Australia, but I am certain that this should only have an impact on the format of day month, instead of month day. There is no requirement to meet ISO standards; so we do not necessarily have to use a strict number format.
Is there a particularly intuitive way to display weeks as text, or is the matter to subjective?
