You need Manage workspace settings. These defaults belong to the selected workspace, so check the workspace switcher before changing them.

Choose the location and time

Choose each value from its row. Dropdown changes save immediately; wait for the saved confirmation before leaving. Set Country first. A workspace without a saved language uses the country’s default language; once a language is saved, changing the country no longer changes it. Timezone is the workspace default. Each location has its own timezone for shifts and clocking; the workspace timezone applies where no location does, such as reports, posts and generated documents. Check timesheets after a timezone change because the same recorded instant can appear at a different local time. Select 12-hour or 24-hour Time format. Dates follow your interface language; only the time format is a workspace choice. The schedule week always starts on Monday; there is no setting for it.

Choose money and language defaults

Default currency is used when a new compensation record is created. Changing it does not convert existing amounts. Default language is used for new members and invitations. Existing members keep their own language preference.

Know what the fiscal month affects

First month of the fiscal year is stored for future reporting and is not used by any report yet. Changing it does not change calendar dates or move existing time records.
