Brazil-specific User Preferences

As a best practice, define preferences at the company or subsidiary level. User preferences usually take precedence over the other preferences set for a role, subsidiary, or company. If a user is linked to a subsidiary, that user will inherit the settings set on the subsidiary record. For more information, see General Personal Preferences.

To set up Brazil-specific personal user preferences:

1. Go to Home > Set Preferences.

2. Click the General subtab.

3. Under Localization, do the following:

   1. In the Language field, select Português (Brasil).

   2. In the Time Zone field, select (GMT -03:00) Brasília.
