Getting startedFirst time school setup

Set regional preferences

Choose the timezone, currency, and date and time formats your school uses.

Regional preferences make the platform match how your school works locally — the timezone dates and times are shown in, the currency money is displayed in, and the formats used for dates and times. Set them early so everything reads correctly from the start.

Who this is for

Administrators — only administrators can change regional settings.

Steps

Open the Regional settings

Go to Settings → School and open the Regional tab.

Timezone, currency, and date/time formats, with a live preview.

Set the timezone

Choose your school's timezone. All dates and times across the platform are shown in this zone.

Set the currency

Enter the currency code — the three-letter code for your currency (for example USD, EUR, MAD). Fees, payments, and expenses are displayed in this currency.

Set the date and time formats

Choose the date format and time format to use across the platform. A live preview shows how dates and times will look as you change them.

Save your changes

Click Save. The new preferences apply across the platform.

Tip

Set regional preferences before creating academic years and fees — it keeps every date and amount consistent from day one.
