    Localization options available on the user level

Here, you can configure the following options by clearing the Use Organization checkbox and providing your own data:

  1. In the Location Options section, provide:

    • Primary Location and Format Address Per Country — Define the address formatting to be applied.

      If Format Address Per Country is enabled and the country-specific formatting is enabled for the instance, the address will be displayed in compliance with the rules specified for the country. For example, if the chosen country is China, the address is displayed as follows:

      • ZIP code

      • Country

      • State, City

      • Street

      • First and Last name

      whereas, for the US it is:

      • First and Last name

      • Street name

      • CITY NAME, STATE CODE, COUNTRY, ZIP code

      Otherwise, the Primary Location formatting is applied.

    • Timezone — Defines the timezone to be applied for all the time settings defined in the instance. If the time-zone is changed, all the time settings (e.g. due dates of tasks), time of reminders, etc. change correspondingly. The default value is(UTC -08:00) America/Los Angeles.

  2. In the Map Settings, select the Temperature Unit and Wind Speed Unit to display the weather on the map. The default values are Fahrenheit and miles per hour (MPH).
