# User defaults

The **User defaults** page contains user profile settings applied to every new user account. Later, users can change their account settings. It consists of two sections: **Regional settings** and **UI settings**.

## Regional settings

You can set the default time zone, date / time format, and measurement system, as well as enable SMS transliteration. These settings will be used when your users log in to the system for the first time.

To ensure your workspace aligns with local standards or personal preference, you can choose from one of seven date formats:

* Default (DD/MM/YYYY): The standard numerical format using forward slashes.
* DD.MM.YYYY: A numerical format using dots as separators (e.g., 01.12.2021).
* DD/MM/YYYY': A variation of the standard numerical format.
* MM-DD-YYYY: The month-first numerical format common in North America, using hyphens.
* YYYY-MM-DD: The ISO standard format, ideal for sorting and technical clarity.
* DD MMM YYYY: An alphanumeric format using an abbreviated month (e.g., 1 Dec 2021).
* DD MMMM YYYY: A full alphanumeric format showing the month in its entirety (e.g., 1 December 2021).

The following time formats are available:

* Default
* 12-hour clock
* 24-hour clock

You may choose from the following measurement systems:

* Metric (km, liter)
* Metric + gallons US (km, gallon)
* Imperial (mile, gallon)
* US (mile, gallon)
* Nautical (nautimal mile, knot)
