Set Your Own Units, Currency, and Timezone

3 min read

Available now on Beta, this feature is in beta testing and will roll out to everyone soon.

What is this?

Everyone on your team can set their own timezone, units, and currency. Choose miles or kilometers. Choose Fahrenheit or Celsius. Choose your currency and date format. Your settings only change what you see. Nobody else's screen changes.

Who's this for?

Fleet and equipment managers, view reports in the units you think in.
Dispatchers and field supervisors, see times in your own timezone, always.
Mechanics and operators, read fuel and volume in liters or gallons, your choice.
Finance and office staff, view costs in your own currency, converted automatically.

How to use it

Step 1: Open your preferences

Click the gear icon next to your profile in the bottom-left corner. This opens User Preferences.

Step 2: Choose your units

Pick Distance in miles or kilometers. Pick Temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Pick Volume in liters, gallons, or imperial gallons from the dropdown.

Localization section with Distance, Temperature and the Volume dropdown open on US Gallon

Step 3: Choose your currency

Choose your currency from the dropdown. Start typing to search the list. Date and time format, like mm/dd and 24-hour, are set in the Date & Time section on the same screen.

Currency dropdown open in User Preferences with a search box filtering the list of currencies

Step 4: Set your timezone

Type in the Time Zone field to search. Pick from about 400 zones. Select yours and it saves right away.

The full details

Works on: Web app and mobile app.
Mobile access: Open User Settings in the app. Same preferences, same screen layout.
Applies to: Timecards, Rentals, Work Orders, Parts, and Project KPIs.
Currency conversion: Dollar amounts convert to your chosen currency using exchange rates your admin manages. A cost stored in USD shows correctly in EUR or MXN, a real conversion, not just a symbol swap.
New team members: Get sensible defaults based on their country at signup. Nothing to configure on day one.
Team impact: Your choices apply only to your own view. Coworkers keep their own settings.

Tips

Set your timezone first. It affects how every date and time displays across the app.
Switch your currency before reviewing cost reports, so totals match what you expect.
Forgot what you changed? Look for the "(default)" hint. It marks any setting still on the company standard.
Mechanics working with fuel logs should confirm Volume matches the units on the equipment gauge.
