Best Practices

Do's

Set timezone correctly - Critical for accurate time tracking
Use regional preset - Quick and consistent setup
Match team settings - Consistency in shared workspaces
Test changes - Preview before saving
Consider clients - Use their currency when billing
Use ISO date format - Avoids DD/MM vs MM/DD confusion

Don'ts

Don't change timezone randomly - Affects historical data display
Don't mix formats - Confuses team (12h vs 24h)
Don't ignore currency - Affects invoicing
Don't forget mobile - Settings sync to mobile app
Don't change mid-project - Can confuse reports

Troubleshooting

Times showing incorrectly

Problem: Time entries appear at wrong times.

Solution:

Check Settings → Localization → Timezone
Verify timezone matches your location
Enable "Detect automatically"
Or manually select correct timezone
Historical data updates automatically

Dates in wrong format

Problem: Dates showing MM/DD/YYYY but want DD/MM/YYYY.

Solution:

Settings → Localization → Date Format
Select DD/MM/YYYY
Preview to confirm
Save changes
Refresh page

Currency symbol missing

Problem: Showing "EUR" instead of "€".

Solution:

Settings → Localization → Currency
Currency Display → "Symbol (€50.00)"
Save settings
