Setting General Preferences

On the General tab, you can set your preferred time zone, language, profile picture, out-of-office assistant, and so on.

1. On the Home page, click Tools, and then User Preferences.
2. Click General.
3. Set your preferences for:

   • Your time zone. You can type ahead, for example, type "PT" for Pacific Time. The default time zone for new users is (UTC) Reykjavik - Greenwich Mean Time.

   • The language used to display labels and buttons. If you don’t select a language, then your browser’s locale is used.

   • Your profile photo. See Setting Your Profile Picture.

   • Which alias table to use and how you want members or their aliases displayed. (Your administrator can set up alias tables and assign alternate names, or aliases, to Account, Currency, Entity, Scenario, Period, Version, Years, and user-defined dimension members. The administrator can set up to 30 aliases per dimension member, including the default alias.)

     See Setting the Display of Member Names or Aliases.

   • Your preferences for Approvals, including whether to display aliases and whether to show approval units that aren't yet started. You can also set the out-of-office assistant and set Approvals actions to be in effect when you're away. See Setting Approvals Options.

4. Click Save.
