Your preferences
The settings behind your name in the top bar, and why they change every figure on every screen.
Every user maintains their own settings from their name in the top bar.
| Setting | Choices |
|---|---|
| Date format | ISO, day-first, month-first, dotted, 06-Aug-2026, Aug 6 2026. |
| Time format | 24 hour or 12 hour. |
| Decimal format | 1,234.56 · 1.234,56 · 1 234,56 · 1234.56 |
| Decimal places | 0 to 6. |
| Time zone | From a configured list. |
| Default printer | From the printers an administrator maintains. |
| Email address | Where documents and notifications go — separate from your sign-in address. |
| Cost centre | Who you are in Accounting. |
| Personnel number | Who you are in HRMS. |
| Work centre | Who you are in Manufacturing. |
| Default organizational unit | The unit you work in. |
These are not merely stored. Every figure and date in the application is rendered through them: change the decimal format and the dashboard, the tables, the reports and the detail pages all follow. A preview on the preferences page shows the effect before you save.
Preferences are held per user per company, because the module links point at company-scoped master data — a cost centre or employee from another company is refused. Somebody working in two companies keeps a separate set for each.
Users maintain their own; administrators may maintain anybody’s. Every change is audited. The option lists themselves are ordinary configuration, so a new printer or time zone is a configuration entry rather than a code change.
Appearance
Density, text size and whether the navigation runs across the top or down the side are personal settings too. The text-size dial scales the interface as a whole rather than one rule in one stylesheet, so nothing is left behind at the largest setting.
