Configuring the default locale settings for all users
Last updated
Network admins have the capability to configure domain-wide default locale settings, ensuring a consistent user experience across the platform. These settings include the default date format, time format, time zone, and language for all users. From the Admin Portal, administrators can specify these defaults, which users can override if they prefer. The options available allow administrators to apply these settings universally to all existing and new users, or exclusively to new users, preserving the current preferences of existing users. Time and date functionality is crucial for ensuring that users operate in their preferred locale settings, enhancing usability and personalization. Overall, the capabilities mentioned here provide a balanced approach to maintaining organizational standards while supporting individual user preferences.
