ShareDo uses regional settings to ensure that dates, times, numbers, and currencies are displayed in a way that makes sense to each user. These settings are important for accuracy and clarity, especially when teams work across different regions.

How to Change Your Regional Settings

To update your organisation’s regional settings in ShareDo:

1. Go to Modeller > Global Features and search for Regional Settings. This will only show if the Include Advanced switch is on. 
   
2. Ensure the feature is enabled, then click the cog icon to open the settings.
3. In the Regional Settings blade, set the Time Zone and Culture Code to match your organisation’s requirements.
   

Time Zone

The Time Zone setting controls how dates and times are displayed.

• Example: A case deadline saved as 2025-10-20 14:00 UTC will appear as:
  • 15:00 for a user in Europe/London (when daylight saving is active).
  • 16:00 for a user in Europe/Paris.

This ensures that meetings, deadlines, and events always appear in the correct local time for each user.

Culture Code

The Culture Code defines the formatting rules for dates, numbers, currencies, and sometimes language.

• Example (en-GB - English, United Kingdom):
  • Date format: 20/10/2025
  • Currency: £1,000.00
• Other culture codes will use their own rules. For example:
  • en-US - 10/20/2025, $1,000.00
  • fr-FR - 20/10/2025, 1 000,00 €

Where These Settings Apply in ShareDo

• List Views: Dates, numbers, and currencies display using the correct culture format.
• Tasks and Deadlines: Display in the correct local time zone.
• Document Generation: Tags in documents follow the culture format, for example:
  • en-GB - 20 October 2025
  • en-US - October 20, 2025
• Notifications and Emails: Sent with formatting appropriate for the recipient’s region.

Summary

• Time zone = controls when events and deadlines appear.
• Culture code = controls how dates, numbers, and currencies are displayed.

By using regional settings, ShareDo makes sure information is presented consistently and clearly for every user, regardless of location.
