Settings chosen when you created your account
When you complete your account after signing up, you can open Define Your Localisation and choose the same settings right away. If you skip it, EMDESK uses the 24-hour clock, the date format 31.12.17, the number format 100,000.00 and English. You can change all of this later in your Profile as described above.
Time zone and currency of the workspace
Each workspace also has a Workspace Timezone and a Currency. These apply to everyone in the workspace. Admins and Managers can see and change them under Settings › General: click the Edit (pencil) icon of the workspace.
